Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?

i have 2 more weeks.waited since mid february.very frustrating

Joeyboynj,have you purchased it new or it was a warranty upgrade from MkII?(like my unit)If yes,did they include a new remote?

Please,report if the display can be defeated and how the remote looks like.Thank You.

Get set for a 2 months wait.I wonder if they charge for the upgrade if the unit is under warranty?

I Bought my Mark II a year ago and went thru 2 transport replacements.Last time Krell returned the unit,the transport won't even open.I ggot RA number and mailed it back.The responded that this time around they will put in an EVO transport and convert it to mkIII status.There was no mention of additional charge at all.Are they gonna keep my unit hostage after the swap is done or nail me with the bill later?I spent 4 gand and never got any enjoyment out of the unit because of a constant transport problems.I am not going to cough up another 3 grand.They got no case in trying to charge me because if the unit is under warranty and they cannot provide me with a repair or replacement let them eat the charge.

Who is Walt?I'll wait 'til the unit is ready.It is too early to get upset.I still believe i won't be charged a penny for the repair/upgrade.

Thanks Dave but as i understand the transport replacement requires at least a display change,new remote control and maybe something else.In his email Patrick says that some internal conversion of other parts is required for the un it to operate properly with a new drive.

Just got sad news:Krell ran out of chassis supports for Raymedia transport and my unit replacement will take 2 more weeks.Can anybody tell me how to tell Raymedia drive from the Philips one?I don't trust anybody anymore and just want to make sure the drive is replaced.Thanks.

I got mine mkIII 10 days ago.No need for cable change here (i am using VH Flavor 4).So far-perfect.For some reason refuses to play David Gilmour cd "On the Island"Both remoes are junk.I wish they had an option for the metal one with like only 6 buttons.I would love to disconnect other channels and replace RCAs (too short,too close)but knowing it's history afraid to void the warranty.
