Hello, AK members!
I recently bought a very rare, sought for, Kenwood KA-1000 stereo amplifier.
First, I must say that I'm very impressed with the sound of this vintage beast, it's one of the best sounding integrated I've listened so far. The amplifier is European version on 220V and functions well in it's factory version. So, one question arise: it is possible to upgrade this amp by replacing the 33 years old vintage electrolytic capacitors? Will this be worth it? Or I just have to leave it like it is, factory built? Any experiences with the recapping process of this amp? Thanks in advance?
