[The KRF is] a fascinating toy for those who love the loonier side of audio...the RKV sounded simply fabulous...responsible for the best non-Stax ESL headphone playback I've ever heard. ... this is one sweet, sweet way to audition cans.

He also uses it to drive speakers!

Using Loth X's Ion Amaze...I was able to enjoy full-range sound with plenty of dynamics at sensible [i.e. not very loud] levels....lush midband, clean treble, surprising tight, dry bass.

Thought you all might be interested. BTW I've never heard this amp myself but am becoming more interested in tube amps as time goes on....

Whatever you do, DON'T BUY A TUBE AMP!

Things change after tubes...

For some reason, everything that KK reviews ends up being awesome.

Another Sam Tellig, eh?

Actually I really like one of Sam's recommendations (my new speaker amp, PS Audio HCA2)...maybe he, and Ken, are just lucky in what they choose to review.

Yeah, but ST makes no bones about the fact that he is a person.

I enjoy his column. I like Herb Reichert's reviews.
