Older Krell Schematics

[lmaclean]

I have set up a page with photos and schematics of older Krell amps (KSA-50 and KSA-100). If the link doesn't work, I can post the files directly.

Here is one to look at:

Hi lmaclean,
Thanks much! I'm in the TO area too. What shop do you work out of?

It seems that I fell into the trap of mistaking 620 on a SM cap to mean 620pF rather than 62x10^0 or 62 pF. I should have spotted that 620 pF was way too much for the compesation. I will upload the corrected schematic for the KSA-100 MkII tonight.
There is no file in the link for the overall schematic of the amp because I had a problem with it as well. It should be loaded tomorrow.

I have been away from the audio "business" for a number of years now. I currently am working in the transportation industry.

Hi lmaclean,
That's amusing. I've been away from the audio "business" for a number of years too, since I sold my shop. I'm in the telecomunications field now. I know exactly what you mean by audio "business".
I still keep a finger in by doing low volume service by appointment. At least now I get a chance to design and rebuild for pleasure.

I saw too many good designers/engineers drop out of high end in frustration. When I was in school, all I was interested in was high end audio design. While I was working with the distributor, I got to meet a lot of interesting people from companies like Vandersteen, Bryston, Apogee, P.S. Audio, Belles, VSP, Spectral, AGI and of course Krell.
If you look at the list of who is left in the "business", it kind of tells you something. Somehow, most of the best have moved on to other things. At the time my girlfriend was working in the fashion business and I can assure you it is far less flakey!

I guess one can make a whole lot more $$$$ in the fashion business if you are good at it.
