there certainly something to be said about a strong company that keeps going and look after their legacy products.
I thought they were stopped servicing Ikemi and CD12 but perhaps that was when they lost the US distributors and in a state of flux ( before it went to Tannoy Canada and now it seems they are dealing direct )
I thought of replacing my Krell, too but I looked around and nothing really could replace it. ( except the Naim CD555 which I find voiced very similar to my 'Naimed' LP12 )
Krell still service the kps25s after all these years, too!
The trend is now on a separate DAC ( we came a full circle from the 90s :/ ) but I am still not fully convinced that file based system is the way to go. They sound different than better than my CD players.
I could see using it to stream high res. vinyl rips to conserve a cartridge life, tho.
