If I understand correctly, you are saying that the sound when listening via speakers is affected by the connection of the V-CAN to the Krell's tape outputs.
Does that occur with the V-CAN turned on, or turned off, or both? I would not assume that its input impedance is 25K when it is turned off, and conceivably when it is turned off its input impedance might vary somewhat with signal level, leading to unpredictable effects.
Also, are you sure that the output impedance of the Krell's tape outputs is 47K? That sounds very high for an output impedance, and sounds typical of an input impedance. If the output impedance were really that high I would think it would tend to minimize or eliminate any effects on the amp's main signal path of what is connected to the tape out jacks.
I don't think it is possible to say much more than that without having more information on the design of the Krell's tape output circuit and how it relates to its main signal path.
