Anybody heard Krell SACD mkIII?

Just got sad news:Krell ran out of chassis supports for Raymedia transport and my unit replacement will take 2 more weeks.Can anybody tell me how to tell Raymedia drive from the Philips one?I don't trust anybody anymore and just want to make sure the drive is replaced.Thanks.

Raymedia has a blue backlight wt white script, it is fast and it is silent....oh, and man is it worth the wait! Are you getting the MKIII update?

My SACD Ver 3 unit has over 500 hours of burn in and no problem. Dave, I hope your replacement unit is working well.

To everyone, the upgrade is well worth it. Runs quiet and fast and the display is way better than the red one.

Anyone else get a new or upgraded unit let us know what you think.

My unit is breaking in nicely. The V3 version is definately a big plus...quiet, fast and more open sounding with greater power! I was lucky to have mine updated for no charge due to prior service issues.

Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago I had to return my SACD Standard MkII, still under warranty , to the local Krell distributor, as the drive mechanism had failed. They have sent it back to the US for repair, and told me it will come back with the Evo drive mechanism installed, as mentioned above.

Does this mean I will get a full MkIII upgrade stuffed in my old chassis, or will they just install the minimum parts necessary, i.e the drive mechanism, LCD display and logic circuits, without upgrading the audio circuitry? I am very curious as to what I will get back!
Kind Regards
Mick
