K&K Phono

Nothing much to add, I agree it is quiet, transparent, excellent dynamics, good stage depth. In a word it sounds like music, in comparison with similarly priced SS units I have heard against it, such as the Whest P20, Clearaudio reference. An unequivical recommendation, you will need to spend a lot more to better it. My only confession is Kevin built mine for me, I chickened out of a self build. Under the hood it is neat and well laid out, with quality components.I have the SE version too by the way

Id like to hear a comparison of the new K&K with the Bottle Head Seduction with the c4s upgrade. I am considering the K&K also but built a Seduction as a temporary fix, however it sounds so good I wonder if the K&K will be much of an upgrade. Im using a peerless 4722 step up which I would also use with the K&K. I replaced an 834p with the seduction which sounds much better in my system.

I had a C4s upgraded Seduction. It is good, with fabulous price/performance. However, it isn't in the same league as the K&K.

It's interesting to me that poeple keep mentioning the fact that they have the "single ended" version. I've been in contact with Kevin and as far as I am aware, the fully differential version is still in the prototype phase. It should be awesome when it's available, if you can afford the $4k-$5k price for the kit.

Is it as good as Art Audio Ref ? Both were designed by Kevin.
