Krell KPS 25SC

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!

To this day, no matter if a kps 25sc is obsolete or not,to me, by far, Its the most buetiful piece of equipment I have ever seen!, The best eye candy ever!, cheers!

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 would like to know why the kps-25sc gets hot?, Krell claims that their pre-amps are class A, so I do not understand this at all, I do know the 25sc is Class A for sure, the unit acts the part, but I have doubts about the EVO-2 or the reference 707 proccessor that is said to be the best pre-amps ever made by krell, and That may be debatable?

Most important thing with Krell KPS25 cd player is to get back up JVC Laser Heads that was used on KPS25.
JVC don't make them anymore.
