  1. Trio KA9300 / Kenwood700M

    Trio KA9300 / Kenwood700M

    recently won the KA9300 in a Japanese auction. Identical to the model 600 supreme apparently. Less than $300AUD and works perfectly. Excellent as a preamp for the 700M

  2. TRIO KA9006

    TRIO KA9006

    100 volt import from Japan . Such a bright and powerful high quality amplifier. Not picky about what speakers it is connected to . It just sounds awesome all the time .This era of Trio/Kenwood is underrated for sure and is not far behind Accuphase in terms of sound quality.

    KA-8300 Noisy right channel - help and insight appreciated

    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...

    Kenwood KX-530 - where does this spring go?

    Does anyone know where this spring attaches?? I replaced the belts on a Kenwood KX-530 and put everything back together and noticed this spring wasn't connected on one end. It appears to be connected to the mechanism for the auto-stop solenoid(?). The end of the spring is closed so I'm not...

    Troubleshooting a Kenwood RA-56 reverb amp

    I've just bought a faulty RA-56. I gave it 14v DC and the center lamp lit up. Seems like a good start but can't get any action out of any of the other lamps. Not sure if I need to supply more voltage, louder music, or something else Some questions below What internal voltage does it run at...

    Good afternoon All, I have been sitting on a Cyrus CD-T and preDAC for some time, but decided to try it out before possibly selling it, as I have some good Luxman bits and pieces. I linked the Cyrus lit up to a pair of Trio monoblocs as both the Cyrus and Trios are known to produce a very...

    Kenwood KA-8300 Tape REC output issue

    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...

    KR-3090 Adjusting DC Offset

    Hello everyone, I'm working on a KR-3090 and currently looking at bias + DC offset. This receiver was on the cheaper end, so adjusting the transistor bias involves swapping a fixed resistor and as far as I can tell there is no adjustment procedure for DC offset. Luckily, transistor bias seems...

    Hey all, I’ve had a KR-8050 that I had rebuilt the left channel in and got back going a while back. Replaced the outputs that were blown while somebody was trying to adjust bias themselves and shorted one. It was working fine for two - three weeks and now increased volume on the left...

    Why i'm not an audiophile

    I love music, all genres, live or prerecorded, makes no difference to me, but I do not have the ear or experience to really be able to talk about warmth, sound stage and all those terms that are thrown around. I like a good jam session regardless of the system, most sound good to me. I currently...

    Kenwood KA-3500 blown resistor after recap

    Hi all, I've been using my dad's old KA-3500 for some time now and it started to have some channel imbalance a few months ago. Just finished a full recap today. However, when I powered it on I saw a glow in the reflection of the heatsink plus a bit of smoke. I immediately turned it off and tried...
