A Letter from Dan D’Agostino
Dear Audio Enthusiast,
Thank you for your purchase of the Krell Evolution 202 preamplifier.
The preamplifier plays a vital role in audio playback by mediating the line-level out-
put of a wide variety of source components in preparation for the amplifier’s input.
At no other point in the reproduction process is music so vulnerable to change, as
the signal level is small, and susceptible to noise and distortion.
Having always valued the role of the preamplifier in fine audio systems, I take pre-
amplifier design very seriously.I realize that, no matter how impressive an amplifi-
er’s performance; it can be no better than that of the preamplifier driving it.
My new Evolution 202 preamplifier employs a powerful, separate power supply,
Krell Current Mode gain stages from input to output, and Current Audio Signal
Transmission (CAST) receivers and transmitters. Utilizing these powerful technolo-
gies, the Evolution 202 conveys the complete range of timbre and dynamics that
comprise the foundation musical performance. Typical of my latest preamplifier
designs, the Evolution 202 preamplifier includes a thoughtful suite of menu
options and can be customized for the greatest ease of operation.
I hope that you enjoy your new Evolution 202 preamplifier.
Sincerely,
Daniel D’Agostino
Chief Executive Officer
