Krell KPS 25SC

Hi,

I am thinking about purchasing Krell KPS 25SC.
I know that this player/preamp was regarded highly.

However, I am not sure how this player stacks up against
current highend players?

Any opinions? My poweramp is Krell FPB400CX and speakers are Andra II.

I have had my KPS25sc since it was new.
I have yet to hear a better sounding CD player, preamp, DAC....
It is over a dozen years old and I did have the Caps replaced a while back.
I no longer leave it on 24/7...that keeps the heat issues at bay.

I too have a KPS25sc that I purchasd back in the 90s...
I have had the capacitors replaced.
I have yet to find a better redbook CD player for my ears.
My system also has an FPB700c and Watt Puppy 7s connected with Tara
Labs "The ONE"...a very 90s system.
I have been in the high end audio business for 35 plus years and I must confess that I have been a Krell dealer since the 80s.
I am sure there are newer systems that eclipse mine, but I still get the same goose bumps as I did when it was new ( and current ).
I have added a network music player (Denon) as well as a 24/96 player....
All good..but for redbook CD, the KPS25sc does the job!
