About the PAM-5

The Krell PAM-5, released around 1986, is a solid-state preamplifier renowned for its exceptional dynamics, build quality, and modern sound despite its age. It features a separate outboard power supply, a highly regarded moving coil phono stage with adjustable impedance, and inputs for Phono, Tuner, CD (with phase correction), and Aux. It offers DC or AC coupling options and was praised for its quiet operation, excellent tonality, and ability to drive systems with authority. Original MSRP was $1550-$2000; it is no longer manufactured but remains sought after in the used market for its stellar performance.
