Well, I am not sure if this is due to an inherent design fault but it is in any case Krell's fault for assigning the production of the transport to a Chinese company with seemingly very poor quality standards. That's the price you get if you start saving money at the wrong place - the transport! I am sure people ready to spend way above 10 grand for a premium / luxury product are also willing to pay one or two more grands for a faultlessly working transport. Seems like Krell's sourcing manager did a very bad job in his quest for a few more $$ of cost savings. Pity on all the R&D guys at Krell who have shed so much blood, sweat and tears for the development of such an otherwise outstanding sounding product...
