The Krell Phantom 3 was what the older Krell 280p evolved into. It carries similar audio stages to the more expensive Phamton 2 and Phantom preamps, but the power supply is undersized (as was the 280p). It is likely going to be a very revealing and bright preamp (others just do not like the Krell sound and describe it as harsh/unlistenable). This is mostly due to the undersized power supply. Their S1200 processor has the same problem. Those Class A discrete analog circuits are very demanding on the power supply. The fix is to increase the amount of capacitance in the main power supply. The Phantom 2 has a much larger power supply. The Phantom (1) has a separate power supply chassis (best out of the three).
How good is Krell Phantom III?
I currently have the opportunity to purchase a Krell Phantom 3 . I just wonder how good it is because I don't see a lot of review for this product on the internet
My system consist of KEF reference 1, Mcintosh MC353, Chord Qutest DAC, all of my cables are from audioquest
Any opinion is welcome since I am new to this audiophile world
