I owned this pre-amp/CD unit and used it with CAST cables to a Krell 400cx amp. I was very happy with it over my previous setup but then I auditioned the KPS with a Pass x-1 preamp and the preamp sounded better even with the Purist Audio Venustas IC cables. So I bought the Pass as well as a Musical Fidelity TriVista CD/SACD player and the sound quality was a very, very big upgrade.
I have since upgraded further but I thought I would share this with you. It seems that the CD technology has changed the most so you could do a lot better than the KPS technology (which is ten years old by now) in both the CD and the preamp area. It was a good unit but you can do much better now, especially in the used market.
