Krell KSP-7b Recapped at Krell Factory in June 2016

The Krell KSP-7B is a very capable two channel solid state preamplifier with an outboard power supply. It has RCA inputs for Tape, Aux, Tuner, CD, and Phono. It has Tape Out, and Main Out RCA jacks, as well as a pair of XLR Main Out sockets. It has a very useful Mute switch, a very useful phase invert switch, a tape/processor loop, and a real balance control. There is also a line level externally switchable gain setting on the front panel.

Included in this sale are the KSP-7B, the outboard power supply (which includes the coupling cable to the preamp and the power cable to your wall socket), a spiral bound copy of the owner's manual, a T10 Torx driver that can be used to remove the top plate for phono load adjustments, and factory packaging used by Krell to return the unit to me after recapping in June 2016.

Here's some info about the phono section in the KSP-7B. It has both gain and load adjustments to accommodate just about any cartridge you might run across. It has two internally switchable high and low gain settings for the phono section. Phono loadings can be chosen with internal dip switches from 47,000, 1000, 800, 470, 250, 100, 47, 25, 10, or 5 Ohms.



This unit was recapped at the Krell factory in June of 2016, hence my 9/10 rating. It is fully functional and is performing with no known cosmetic or operational flaws.


FWIW, to use this unit as a very flexible phono preamp for MM, LOMC or HOMC, just put the selector switch on phono, set the phono gain and loading to suit your cartridge, and run your interconnects from the Tape Out jacks on the back over to one of the line level inputs on your preamp. And don't forget to connect your turntable interconnects and ground wire to the Phono section on the KSP-7B.

It will ship in factory packaging. The box is 12"x18"x23" and it weighs 36 pounds. It will ship from 38501. It is packed up and ready to go.

If you want me to change the phono gain or load settings for you so that it is ready to plug and play right out of the box on arrival at your house, just ask, and I will be happy to do it for you.

No upcharge for paying via domestic PayPal either.
