    Kenwood 700M : common ground?

    Hi folks, I have a Kenwood 700M amplifier and I am not sure if it has a "common ground" or not. I am asking because I also have a Koss ESP-9 electrostatic headphone set that requires tapping into the speaker outputs on the 700M to drive them. I have read (and yet don't fully understand) that...

    Kenwood 700M - replace filter caps?

    Hi, I recapped a 700M a few years ago. I left the original power supply filter caps in- the big ones. I've sometimes wondered if I should spend the money to replace them, and just to complete the job. Looking at $100 minimum, probably. If the current ones seem to work fine, though they're...

    Let's compare: Sansui Eight & Kenwood 700M

    Hi Sansui'ers, Tell me why, the extraordinarily well built and much lauded Sansui Eight (non-deluxe) would sound better, or different in an appealing way, than the Kenwood 700M, also adored by many. I have a nice 700M, and perhaps crazily, at no small expense, I am considering acquiring a...

    Considering the Threshold 400A...

    Hi all, I am currently running a Kenwood 700M into a pair of Tannoy 12" Golds, which I am happy with. I've encountered a Threshold 400A, a class A amplifier that I am considering, simply because people seem to rave about it. Somehow, this feels like a big leap to consider. 400A receives huge...

    Kenwood 700M vs. Supreme 500/600

    I have a 700M (recapped) which I really like. I have always wondered if anyone has compared the sonic character and performance of a 700M against the Supreme 500/600's (assuming the 500 & 600 are very similar sounding to each other). I know that the 700M is just a power amp and so it's hard to...

    Kenwood 700C and the Accuphase C200 preamps

    Hi AK'ers, I own a 700M power amp and I love it. But I hate tweaking the super sensitive volume knobs individually on each channel every time I want to adjust volume. I need a preamp! I'd love to acquire a 700C pre since it is the logical mate to the 700M, but they are hard to find and quite...

    Kenwood 700M + what preamp?

    With the help and generosity from some savvy AK'ers, I recently overhauled a 700M. I've considered acquiring the preamp mate to the 700M- the 700C. It's pricey and rare, and definitely looks great beside the 700M. But I ask myself what the 700C would bring to the table that other fine preamps...
