I have had a KCT for a few years and like it very much. It replaced a Klyne 6L - I wanted balanced inputs and outputs and a remote. I tried several preamps, including a lesser Krell, but liked the KCT best. I also tried several amps, including a Krell with cast. That was a very good combination, and I liked the fact that the KCT remote (which is a very solid piece of equipment) also turns on and off the newer Krell amps. I finally bought an Accuphase amp, however, because the KCT-Accuphase combination sounded best through my speakers in a difficult room. I continue to treasure the KCT. It has great resolving power and it is superbly built and very easy to operate. I've never had any trouble with it. I also like Klyne preamps, but at the time I was looking for a new preamp there were no Klynes with a remote.
Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp?
I am in the market for a preamp and was wondering if anyone has had a chance to evaluate or audition this unit. Any owners care to comment? Also, there seems to be no reviews published that I can find thus far. I am also particularly interested in its CAST feature for mating with Krell Class A amps (high impedance output into low impedance input. Thanks in advance.
