Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp?

I am in the market for a preamp and was wondering if anyone has had a chance to evaluate or audition this unit. Any owners care to comment? Also, there seems to be no reviews published that I can find thus far. I am also particularly interested in its CAST feature for mating with Krell Class A amps (high impedance output into low impedance input. Thanks in advance.

Great review! I too think the KCT is a great preamp especially when employing the CAST system. And I agree that the listening experience is heavily weighted towards the quality of the recording. Another great thing about the Krell cast amps is that you can run a highly resolving Krell CAST top end through the CAST inputs, and if so inclined, run a tube top end through the balanced inputs. Depending on what kind of listening mood you are in, you can have a choice. Also, the KCT can easily been connected to an HT processor.
