After reading things like what Krell posted about the "Features" of their CD Players, I'm surprised they didn't charge knuckleheads twice what they did.
"Krell claims the presence of green light helps the laser recover the data from the CD, and improves the sound quality"
I think I'll steal that PHRASE and use it for my WOPL with green LED's..... How gullible are people to spend that kind of money for a CD player??? And for that kind of money, "It's Broken"???? for 10,000 Euro's it better last forever. Do the green LED's still work??? That would be a cheap fix.
Do you think patek philipe would say something like "Our watch spring are blessed by Rabbi's with a pocket full of foreskins from ONLY rich people's baby's"??????

This is from a review of a 2015 $9000 Krell CD player, complete with misspellings: "When I compare my findings to a review I read recenlyly in Stereophile (carried out with a new unit), it is clear that my unit wasn’t 100%, as it apparently should have had very tight and articulate and super-powerful bass. Interestingly, the KPS-20i didn’t sound as muscular as I expected, instead sounding superbly fluid and refined, and even a shade too polite, with deep yet woolly bass, but that could also have been caused by ageing caps or the ageing Philips CDM-9 pro transport inside."
The capacitors are "ageing" after 5 years?
How does a CD player sound "polite"? My WOPL does not sound polite, nor do I want it to sound polite.
Don't the reviewers know they are supposed to make these units sound desirable?
