Not happy with Krell SACD

I have read that many owners think the build quality of this unit is not up to price level. Your bright sound does not fit in with any owner reviews I have read at Audio Asylum forum, you may want to do a search on that forum.

What did the Krell replace in your system?

I was checking one out at my local dealer. I opened the drawer to check out the title of the disc being played,and I couldn't believe how flimsy/crappy the drawer operated. It was very comparable to a cheap Pioneer. Maybe I'm spoiled but I'm used to old Phillips players(cd-80/cd-880/cd-960)and my current player 963 SA- I know thats not the final line in CD performance,but it at least makes it seam alot better made.

You may try experimenting with cables. I would not use any silver cables try to find a neutral sound. I am not a krell fan but for what you paid it should satisfy. What is the rest of the system?

Martin Colloms just reviewed it in the Nov 03' HiFi News magazine. He stated that he was basically displeased with the overall sound quality and said he was expecting much more. If I'm recalling the review correctly, he awarded the player 29 points for sound quality on his grading scale.
