KRELL KCT preamp. FUSE BLOWN


Hi, my krell kct preamp, the fuse located under the power cord plug is blown. I replace it and it immediately blew again. Does anybody have any idea what is going on, beside shipping it back to krell dealer? ( or Maybe can a local electronic shop fix it?)

thanks

I also have a KCT. Never even hinted at any issue. I would try to isolate the problem. Perhaps disconnect everything connected to the pre, unplug the unit, replace the fuse, plug it back in, then turn it on. The KCT goes thru a small boot up cycle prior to going into the "on" mode. If it goes thru the cycle and stays on without the fuse blowing then the issue would be somewhere else.
If it still doesn't work contact Steve Lakrone at "The Service Dept". He used to work for Krell and is the The Man.
Hope this helpe, John
Yes, without question best guy to call is Steve Lacrone.
He used to work for Krell and knows everything about fixing Krell products. He also fixes tons of other high end equipment.
He fixed one of my Krell KAS Amps at a good deal.

Here's his site and info.

All good advice. But let me say I have had outstanding service from Krell over the course of the last ten years. I have owned amps, preamps, and a KPSc-25 (did I say it correctly?).
They were fast and reasonable, and explained what was happening whether it was for a warranty repair, or an upgrade, or a cosmetic repair.
