I own the Krell S-350, have used it in my system for 3 years and am satisfied. The 350S replaced my Cambridge Audio 840C CD player. The Cambridge was not reliable, and I had to send it in for repair 3 times. The Krell has worked reliably for 3 years. I have not listened to Ayre, Rega or Ayon. The Krell plays most all of my collection of rock CDs with great aplomb. The Krell's strength are detail and soundstage. If this is what you like, then give the Krell S-350 a listen. Long listening sessions are rewarding.
Did Krell ever produce an out standing CD player??
I was recently told to investigate Krell products if looking for new and better CD player. The Krell 505 and C28s were high/y recommended. Unfortunately, they were both over $5000, and more or less required a Krell pre-amp or integrated tricked out with CAST design circuitry which optimizes CD playback
However, I have read a few reviews about the newer Krell S350 which praised the overall performance of the player.
It retails for $3500, though may be discontinued. Has anyone ever owned this player?? Can it compete with CD players from Ayre, and Rega, possibly Ayon which are in the $3000-$3500 price range
