Hello. Great sounding Krell preamp. I used to have the integrated amplifier version of this unit and one day I used the Pre-Out into a power amp and was very surprised with the performance. If you’ve seen the preamp board of the integrated, it is very small compared to this preamp. Obviously, a dedicated preamp yields better performance. The sound is what you’d expect from Krell and something you might not. It is very open and airy. Midrange is very uncolored and accurate. Bass is amazing with speed and control but what you might not expect is a slight sweetness in the sound due to it being a Class A operating mode. A wonderful sounding unit that would compare with multi thousand-dollar units today. Truly an incredible value in today’s ultra-expensive hi-end audio hobby.  

 

I replaced all 66 electrolytic capacitors with NIchicon “Audio” grade high temperature (for longevity) caps. I’ve used these in many other pieces with excellent results. I noticed that some of the caps were starting to leak and bulge. If you own one of these, I HIGHLY recommend you have this service done. Not only is it now reliable, it sounds better! I notice immediately the sound was more open, relaxed and musical. Those old caps were really holding back a ton of potential. I would say it’s better than new since the new capacitors are a higher-grade cap. I’ve worked on dozens of pieces of audio over the years. I’m an electronic technician by trade. I’ve worked on 15+ Krell pieces most of the over the last 3 years. Lots of work but totally worth it.  

 

It includes a Krell credit card size remote that has a lot of use. I will also include a Logitech Harmony universal programmable remote that operates all the functions of the preamp with the ability to add more devices to it. In my opinion, it’s easier to hold and use than the original remote. The unit is in amazing condition. I can’t find any obvious flaws. It has been cleaned inside and out.  

Let me know if you have any questions.
