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.

I've had 3 Krell amps and last was a FPB600 but never like their preamps. Haven't demoed the EVO series so how do they compare to the FPBs?

What cables do you guys use with your Krells? I found MIT worked best but not so with my current gear.
I use Transparent cables right know and like the way they sound. I just got my system put up which consists of FPB 400CX and my KCT pre-amp. I must say very impressed!! In the market of buying a CD player to go with it. Been looking at the 28C and have not made up my mind yet. The 450 MCX's are nice amps no questioned about it. I feel I really didn't need that kind of power. Speakers I am running are the good old Epic CF 4's by Klipsch & I must so I do love them! I have more then enough head room with these speakers.
I also find Transparent IC a good match for my Krells but the SC is too dark. MIT has a more open and detailed sound which I much preferred.

All my friends with Krells at the time all use either MIT or Transparent. I like to hear what cables owners of the current EVO series use.
Rminsf,

Have you compared the newer Krell series such as the Evo 400e to the FPB series? I have the FPB 450 MCX and I wonder if the 400e is a significant improvement.
Just stumbled on this great forum. Have the KCT & 350 MCX combo and enjoy very much. Do not understand why 6055c attacked scoutdog. Scoutdog has no reason to apologize for his success, opinions or purchases. Don't know scoutdog but glad we have people like him that probably pay a lot of taxes, contribute to charity, employ others and help keep the hi-end going.

Again, enjoy the excellent input and opinions.
