    Turntable Advice

    I currently run a Marantz 2245 with a cheap Audio Technica turntable. The plan all along was to update the table but for now I need to keep the cost down. I have looked at the vintage versus new debate and had almost decided that a new $500 table would probably suffice my needs for now. I...

    KR-4070

    I'm in the process of refurbing a kr-4070. This is the first time I've done any sort of vintage audio refurbish at all but it was a good deal and I have a KD-5070 so I thought I'd just have a Kenwood setup for fun. Anyway, I'm ashamed to say I basically picked it up and before even taking any...

    Knowledge about Kenwood KA-7100?

    Hi everyone! I've been spending a lot of time recently lurking on AK, so I thought I'd go ahead and join and jump in the fray. I'm a total newbie, but have become (just a little bit!) obsessed by the idea of finding that warm, rich 70s sound I remember from my childhood. (I don't know what...

    Hey all! Yesterday I bought a Kenwood KA-8100 that was advertised as broken. Today I need help in restoring it. The inside and outside of the unit are pretty darn clean. It appears as if one corner of the unit took a drop head on and bent but did a pretty good job of protecting the internals...

    KA-88 debug question (and a KT-88 one too)

    Hi all, Long time lurker but admittedly, not many posts. Sorry for the long post but the testing and analysis should make it easier to answer my questions. Quite a while back, I picked up a nice Kenwood KA-88 integrated amp (100 w/chan of Class A power). I didn’t need it but it was a nice...

    Kenwood KA-3500 vs. Harman Kardon 330c

    Hello! So this is probably a hard question to answer, and I know there's some subjectivity at play here. But my old Kenwood KA-3500 recently went out of commission (seems to be a blown channel), and it looks like it will be around $150 to repair, with at least month turnaround—which feels like a...

    Kenwood KD-650 for Sale on Goodwill.com

    I've been tracking this for about a week, but now its out of my price range, but maybe not for some of you. It looks like it is in very good condition, but the platter does not turn. It probably needs some deoxit and its motor lubricated. Hinges are broken and the lid might have a crack in the...

    KR-7400 Offset

    I have a KR-7400 that is sounding pretty good aside from the fact that the balance/volume control has an issue (going in, the signal is nice and even... signal out isn't, and yeah, I have cleaned it several times), and the DC offset is.... okay but not great. My question is: with dc offset at...

    Kenwood KR4010 I killed it and need help

    A friend asked me to service his Kenwood KR4010. It played but was real noisy so I knew it needed the usual De-Oxit treatment. I recapped the Power Supply section and had it sounding pretty good with one small problem. Sometimes the left channel sounded like a broken speaker. A little freeze...

    Help with Kenwood KA-801

    Hey everyone, I picked up a vintage kenwood from the late 70s today. I was told that one or both of the channels comes in and out, and there is a “crackling” when they touch the controls. Easy fix, I thought, so I cleaned all switches and pots with dexoit. The problem is still there though, so...
