    Kenwood KA 5500 - Recapping - Capcitor Tolerance

    Hey guys, so I bought a Kenwood KA 5500 and I want to recap it. I mainly follow this list https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/kenwood-ka-5500-recap-parts-list-bom.770139/ I'm from Germany so mouser is no option for me, due to insanely high shipping costs. This isn't too bad, since...

    Fixing up and restoring a Kenwood KA-5002 integrated amplifier

    This is a recent eBay purchase that I am planning to recap eventually. Unlike the dead / problematic KA-4002 unit I am working on in parallel, this one is mostly working. Also, while just as handy as KA-4002, this amp is way more pretty, at least IMO. So my plan is to fix it up first and then...

    This TRIO-KA 9900 has been sleeping for 10 years! Let's wake her up!!

    Lost the right channel in January 2010. I was so traumatized, I just stopped using it. I wanted access to all the power or none at all. I have never listened to anything that sounded half as good. So I put it in storage pending when I could restore it. Then I bought a KA-907 that turned out...
