ka-8300

I have a KA-8300 I've had for years. It has been my trusty workhorse and done very, very well. I put in a new relay some years ago and did a partial recap at that time too. It played well and behaved perfectly since then until recently. I turned it on one day and I immediately hear light...

I recently acquired a nice matched set of Kenwood KA-8300 and KT-8300 separates. I have been playing with the KA-8300 and love the sound and performance, both with speakers and headphones. I have only used a turntable with it so far, via the Phono 1 inputs. I'm trying to record some LPs to...

Hello all! It has been a while since I lurked around here, but I am back with a little project. A buddy of mine picked up a Kenwood KA-8300 integrated receiver, and it has no output. Lights come on and whatnot, but never had any audio pass through, or see any meters. I thought it might be...

Hello all, I am the happy owner of 2 KA-8300 amps. Both amps are in working order, but of course, after 45 years, the electrolytics are reaching/past the end of their life and the power supply boards are in dire need of some conservation. The information in this post is both from the forum...

I have a Kenwood KA-8300 I love dearly, along with its little brother the KA-7100. I read that the KA-8300 can often have issues on it's power supply board and in particular with resistor Rk 6 which tends to overheat and cause problems. I was also having some issues with the relay so I thought...

Greetings all! I have lurked here for years, working my way through a Kenwood KA-3500 and KA-9100 restoration. Still have the 9100, and love it. Recently I was offered a KT-7300/KA-7300 pair in excellent cosmetic collection (including original packing in perfect condition). The problem is...

Hello, I have a (new to me) KA-8300 which is in nice shape, but has an intermittent left channel problem that seems to be common with this model, but I have not been able to find any solid solutions that fit with my situation. After thoroughly cleaned all pots and switches (multiple times) and...
