krell KCT vs krell EVO 202 both preamp

Hi, i'm in the market for upgrading and i'm interesting in purchasing the krell EVO 202 preamp in the use market. I have never heard them side by side so any suggestion or advise will help, How is the sound (clean, transparent, image, staging, dynamic) between them? Is it worth it to upgrade from the kct to the evo 202?

Thanks

This may not help, but I just got a Phantom III (my FPB600 doesn't have CAST), on a recommendation from Patrick at Krell. I had a KRC-HR and was trying to decide between going to a KCT or saving up for a 202 or Phantom. I would think that based on my KRC to Phantom results, that you would gain in all parameters. My Phantom is more open, quicker, better soundstage with a more solid image, and more transparent as well.

Hope this helps,
Mike
