krell ksa5 klone

Yeah, the B-job. It's better, you know that.

Hell, it will only cost you a buck more. What are you waiting for? Dew eet!

 

Or look at it this way - would you buy a crappy Escort when you got the dosh to throw down on a GT? I thought so.

If the B-job makes the KSA5 Klone go better like the GT, then I am tempted to pay the extra few bucks. But I might come back and complain if my KSA5 ends up with the (reported) reliability of the GT ;D

 

Doesn't really matter which version you pick but it's normally good to go for the lowest noise. 

Excellent. Thanks.

Only problem, finding some HV ones that are not for TV use and with horrible Cob....  :(

 

Edit.  And who ever thought it was a good idea to call the new ones TO-3P needs to be taken out back and shot.

Silkscreen on the original board = I think R4 is 562 not 750.

Has someone finish and listening to his KSA-5 ?

I just finished mine, and I'm very disappointed :- 

Sound very "thin" and clip very quickly.... Not exactly what I was waiting for !

 

Edit : I use a Beyerdynamic T1, which is not very difficult to drive...

 

 My origional KSA5v with the blackgates has never shown any signs of clipping even when driving my k1000s at full volume( it drives them to a reasonable listening level at full volume ,but definetly could use more power then the krell can produce) but it is very clean sounding with no clipping at all. No way would I call the Krell thin sounding.

 I have found the T1 to sound best with tube amps,I have never tried the T1 with it. I do own A Blackdragon  recabled T5p I will have to give a listen with the Krell when I get a chance.

 I also find the T5p to be picky with some portable amps but sounds great directly out of My Dell laptop listening to CDs go figure.
