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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I listened to the same speakers in a local store driven by big macs and, as you said, did not sound very good. Also listened to them in the store driven by a REF 5 (not the SE) but with Mac amps, I was not impressed either. Sounds like a REF 5SE and Krell FPB could be a good combo.

I would try a pass Labs amp too either X350.5 or the X600.5 mono's.

Dancer, what preamp do you like better?
The Krell KRC-HR or the Krell KCT.

I've used a KCR-3...not bad with my FPB750mcx's,I tried the KCT is the same set-up, WAY better,and EVEN better in CAST.but still prefer the EVO 222 (in CAST).Just my 2 cents
