    Kenwood KA-88 am I crazy?

    Picked this integrated amp up from the thieves at goodwill for only $20 with the full intention on flipping it. Hooked it up on the floor with some cheap realistic minimus speakers (my favorite test speakers for no reason at all) and wow! With the equalizer flat it sounds great! Has a ton of...

    Kenwood tuner confusion

    I just picked a kenwood kw-100g tube tuner and it has this “stereo monitor” option. I don’t really understand the instruction.

    Hello guys, This is my first post here! I'm looking for some advise from owners of Kenwood turntables.

    Crackling/Static in Right Channel Only - KR-6160

    There's a crackle static sound coming out of the right channel on a KR-6160. It's not dependent on volume level; whether volume is zero or maxed out the static remains the same level. All inputs have this sound, changing mode to right, left, rev - all of them the static remains in the right...
