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.

To this day, no matter if a kps 25sc is obsolete or not,to me, by far, Its the most buetiful piece of equipment I have ever seen!, The best eye candy ever!, cheers!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

JVC Transport EXU-901A was used in these models:
Victor XL-Z900
Victor XL-Z999
Reimyo CDP-777
Krell KPS 25s
Krell KPS 25sc
Phase Tech CT-1

From what I remember Reimyo bought all the remaining stuff from JVC.
