Check with Krell and if it's cost effective to fix it then fix it. If not then I'd say time to move on, there are tons of great cd players out right now, in a variety of price ranges.
Advice on aging Krell CD player
In the early 90's I purchased a Krell CD-DSP player along
with a Krell KSA 150 amp and a KBL preamp. Here it is 2006
and this system is still going strong and a joy to listen to.Mostly classical, lots of solo piano, and vocal performance.
Enter the Krell CD-DSP, smooth on top,great bass,decent soundstage and a completely black backgroung. Well not any
more,seems like on most recordings there is a noise, kind
of a sputtering sound at the start of the track and is very prominent on small vocal recordings the whole way thru.
Should I just replace the unit or consider having it upgraded.And if so, who might you recommend to do such work.
I suspect the DAC's have had it and probably the noise I describe is jitter.Really hate to part with her.
I appreciate your time and look forward to your reply.
