The holy Grail of headphone amps!

[KR...]

Does anyone know anything about the Krell KSA-5V

 

[Flumpus]

No...but it's a headphone amp? I've always wanted a Krell headphone amp... I don't like krell equipment for some speakers, but I've been craving a high quality bright solid state headphone amp

It's a hybrid.
It puts out 5 pure full watts from it's speaker output and has an almighty headphone jack.

I only know of one person who owns one, but he doesn't post here

Sounds perfect for K-1000s *and* an HD600 or K-501 for those moments you don't want to crank the sub-woofer!

It's also extremely rare and it has been out of production for years.

Wow... I searched the web for it and found *absolutly nothing*. I was thinking it was a brand-spanking-new model. Now I know otherwise. It would *have* to be ultra-rare for there not to be a single reference to it from an Altavista search.

John Sunier, who owns and runs the binaural source website owns one, maybe Jude can shoot him an e-mail at this addresshere and ask him to post here, he seems to be just as much into headphones as anyone here, if not more so.

I shot Krell an email asking about info on the KSA-5V.
I didn't get much.

Thank you for your e-mail. The Krell KSA-5V was a 5 Watt headphone amplifier with a volume control that was made about ten years ago. Unfortunately, there is no literature available on this component. Best regards, Irv Gross Krell Sales and Marketing Department

Hey, It didn't call it the holy grail for nothing!
