No, as I said, I have a real experience (owner) with the Evo-222 and the Phantom only.
Yes, I said also that the latest Krell top pre called Illusion is essentially the same design, lingering almost a decade, streching from the Evo-202 via Phantom to nowadays Illusion. I cannot give, of course, any technical elaboration overhere, however it is easy to check basic appearance, white papers, internal pictures, specifications etc. It is clearly visible that this is in fact the same preamplifier. Only palpable difference should be optional active crossover in both Phantom and Illusion only, not available at a time for the Evo-202.
It might be important, Illusion MSRP is a bit lower than Phantom, at 15000 vs 17500USD, respectively (due to clearly better casework in Phantom, I guess). Optional crossover was additional 2500 ie total 20000USD for Phantom, I would guess approx. the same extra money for Illusion x-over.
