I know this is an old thread, but I recently picked up a Ka 7100 at a junk sale. It was filthy! I spent some time cleaning it and then handed off to a friend to check it out and clean up anything I missed. He made some adjustments and replaced a cap I broke. It's really turned out to be an amazing looking piece of equipment. Lots of detail in the faceplate. I noticed its engraved and then filled with paint. The glass behind the volume knob is a nice touch
I've been listening to it for a couple hours now. Moved a Marantz 2250b to the side so I could play with this. Its hooked up to Klipsch KG4.2s and a JVC QL-F4 Turntable.
Im very happy with the sound. Im almost ashamed to say that I think I like it better then the Marantz. Listening to a range of Jazz, some Prog rock, classic rock and the older rap music. It seems to be really neutral in sound maybe how it would be described . Its kinda making me wonder if the Marantz has something wrong with it. The 2250b doesn't seem to make that broad range of music enjoyable. Or maybe I need to find componets that match it better.
I'll listen to it in this set up a few weeks and judge how I feel about it then I guess. Maybe its the newness thats getting me.
Best part is I have a 100 bucks in this thing. I think thats a good deal for that much enjoyment
