I was an early Krell dealer and had a earlier model stand alone phono stage [KPE ?] up until a few years ago. I always thought they were well built but the weakest part of the line compared to their amps and line stage. I think you can do better for the money. Phono stages appear to be just about the most difficult component to design considering how many so-so ones there are on the market.
Krell KRS2 Preamp
Hi Folks:
Has anyone been able to compare the sound of this former flagship with contemporary Krell gear or current solid state preamp unbalanced technology? I have also read constantly that Krell's built in phono stages are excellent. Any comment on how those circuits measure up to today's outboard or built in products would be appreciated.
Thanks as always.
