Attention K&K phono pre owners:


Kevin has a new major upgrade in the works that applicable to all previous models back to the first kit sold (sold to me and now in the hands of an audio friend). Check out Kevin's posting over on the K&K forum for details. I've been in contact with Kevin for weeks as he has worked to develop this and this should be very exciting. I haven't posted on this before at Kevin's request to keep this under wraps until he was ready for an announcement.

Cool, looking forward to that. I wish I understood what he was saying but I will take his word for it.
I corresponded with Kevin today and he said that he would have everything wrapped up and ready like in the next two weeks. I think the cat got out of the bag a little ahead of schedule for him.
I should reserve a lot of commentary until I have had at least a couple of weeks with the "new" unit but on first impressions here goes. The first thing I noticed on the very first song that the needle was in the groove for was that the bass was more pronounced, nice deep bass. I listened to a few albums I know quite well and everything had more meat on the bone so to speak. On the upper end, there certainly is better imaging with cymbals and bells jumping out of the sound picture amazingly at times.

I have had the parts for quite a while but just got around to having them put in now. I wish now that I had not waited like I did. Kevin is a master, making a great sounding phono stage to begin with and now getting it to sound even better.
