Krell KCT vs other top preamps ?


Has anybody experience and an opinion to share re the Krell KCT as compared to other top preamps (e.g. Spectral DCM-20II, Cello Suite, Mark Levinson 380S etc.) ? Does it sound better than the older Krell KRCs ?

IMHO, I've never heard a Krell preamp that I liked, YMMV!
Before you buy any of the preamps you list I would suggest you take home a BAT VK50SE. I've yet to hear better in my system and I took home and demo'd quite a few, including the 380S and the Spectral on your list.

Hello Roger:

I find my VK50SE fits very well between the BAT VKD5 CD player and my Levinson 33H's. I would recommend you find a loaner somewhere and try the 50SE before you decide on anything else. Most definitely worth your consideration, and a demo!
