In Reply to: RE: KRELL VANGAURD COMING!! posted by thebordas on July 12, 2014 at 08:10:51
...at the very low output current of Krells new amps! Geez, my old McCormack amp pumped out 50 amps and my new Wyred mAmps do 30. That's about twice what these new Krells do. Oh well, look forward, none the less, to your review.

The Evolution series amps put out gobs of current compared to the newer amps.
Nevertheless, I am very eager to hear one of the new amps in my system with the Foundation. And, I assume Stereophile will review one of the power amps relatively soon and JA will publish measurements, which will be interesting to see.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
Taken from the Krell site ...
" The Vanguard’s amplifier incorporates a massive power supply with a 750 VA toroidal transformer and 80,000 microfarads of storage capacitance "
the s-550i " a massive 1,750 watt transformer and 68,000μF of capacitance "
the s-300i instead " Employing a massive 750 VA toroidal transformer and 38,000 microfarads of capacitance "
It seems that the Vanguard has a power supply similar to the s-300i
For what counts of course.
The s-550i is more than double the VA but also much more expensive i suppose.
Kind regards,

...again my old McCormack had some 130,000 microfarads of capacitance. Oh well, it's always the sound that counts!
Hi i do not want to deviate from the topic
Only to say that before i was obsessed with uFs in the power supply
Now instead i am obsessed with the transformers VA rating
And Krell is a champion on this
They have unbelievable quality transformers and i think it is one of their strong points
I love Krell amps in general
I think that the mains transformer is the first and most important bottleneck for power
For this i always look at the power consumption on the back
To stay in topic i am afraid that the toughest competitors for this new Krell are older Krell integrateds that can be found around at very interesting prices.
Kind regards,
bg
