What part is working ? It has 3 separate parts, drive, d/a converter and class a preamp. The dac is probably not working and if it is the 20 bit version will likely not work again, those dacs are almost impossible to locate. In the preamp section, the heat has most likely destroyed some of the capacitors, but that is easily fixed by any decent repair shop, remember to order the most heat resistant replacement capacitors. If the laser in the drive is not reading the CD, it can be replaced, the chinese started making that laser again, and it can be found on ebay. Sometimes the rubber belt driving the laser head get brittle and needs replacing, and the metal track the laser moves on definitely need lubrication with a thin mineral oil. All parts of the Kps 25sc can be connected separately if they work, you probably need a separate dac, the drive section is a JVC pro drive, one of the best ever made. I’m using mine into a Yggdrasil dac these days.Good luck !
Krell kps 25 sc
Hi folks , this is my first post here , i have bought a pristine external cond , non working, Krell kps 25sc yesterday , it was cheap , so if i can’t make it work , it will end up at ebay sold for parts , in the event i can make it work , can i connect it to a normal amplifier ? ie: a phase linear or carver power amp ? May i use just the cd player and plug it to a Normal pre? ie: NAD C165BEE ? Thank you very much for your healthy advice
