YOU WILL RECEIVE: 1 200 Watt Vanguard Integrated Stereo Amplifier The Vanguard incorporates a 200-watt-per channel amplifier and a Class A preamplifier, enclosed in a chassis that borrows its design and construction from the new Krell Foundation preamp/processor, Connect stream player, Illusion preamp and iBias amplifiers. An optional, field-installable digital module with USB, HDMI, coaxial, and optical inputs as well as Ethernet audio and apt-X Bluetooth streaming will also be available. The preamplifier section of the Vanguard borrows its balanced, fully discrete Class A circuit concepts from Krell's top-of-the-line Illusion preamplifiers. Krell's Current Mode technology is employed to assure unequaled signal bandwidth, easily enough to handle the latest high-resolution PCM and DSD audio sources without impacting high-frequency response and detail.

Music Hall introduces ikura, a design collaboration between Doing & Done represents a visual and technical departure. The result is a unique high-end, gloss black split design with a MDF platter coated in a high-gloss finish belt driven audiophile master piece. Three rubber cone feet elevate and isolate the plinth, under which all connections, electronics are mounted underneath. Critical listening components are kept separated on the top of the turntable to ensure sound quality is maintained. For the first time, music hall collaborated with an outside industrial design firm to develop and complete the project. The foundation of ikura's gloss black design remains the unique two-piece split-plinth design originated by music hall and the final product is the result of a dynamic design partnership between Doing & Done, headed by designer James Kyroudis, and music hall. The medium density fiberboard platter and felt mat rides a high quality, stainless steel ball bearing coated in Teflon providing fluid and noise-free operation. Initial lubrication of the bearing assembly is done during factory assembly.
