    Kenwood KA-701 bias value can't be adjusted correctly

    Hey! I was working on my Kenwood KA-701 recently, which had burned/dead output transistors. The unit is now fully recapped, has all new output transistors and a few other (list of transistors below). DC-offset was pretty easy to set up and is now idling between 0mV and 1mV on both channels...

    First Vintage Stereo Set Up

    Picking up some estate finds today - Kenwood KR 4400, Epicure 10s and a BIC turntable (940 I think)- seem to be well cared for equipment (comes with several boxes of vinyl records too so can't wait to see what finds are there as well). So will be anxious to test it out after some initial...

    Kenwood Kr-4200 Protection Relay Issue...

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased a Kr-4200 stereo that needs some work before any further use. When I power on the stereo I can hear the relay click and audio comes through either the speakers or headphones (which ever is used). The stereo works well for a while until the relay starts...

    KR6600 resto shop needed in New England

    I have a fairly mint but tired KR 6600 that I'm looking to have re-lamped and given a through service. Anyone know of a good, reputable shop, preferably in the southern NH area?

    Kenwood kr-9600 low filter

    The low filter of a Kenwood kr 9600 cuts of the frequency at 100 Hz. I would like to convert this filter to a subsonic filter. Can this be done? And if yes which resistor and capacitator should I replace and what should the new values be?

    Klipsch KG4 and kenwood kr 6050

    Anybody have thoughts about pairing these two? I have a kenwood kr 6050 that I love, and have a line on a pair of KG4's. I'm wondering if the kenwood has enough power to get drive these speakers though. Any and all thoughts about these speakers are welcome. I know they're no cornwalls or...

    Kenwood KR-7600 problems

    Recently I bought a Kenwood KR-7600 amplifier and quite soon I realised that the left channel was quieter than the right one. Sometimes it was better and sometimes almost silent. I have never before fix anything from any amplifier but I decided I'm gonna try to fix it. I did clean everything...

    Kenwood KA-5700 left VU meter not working. Any ideas?

    Snagged a nice looking KA-5700 from a garage sale for $15. Took it home and found that it sounds great, all inputs work, and all switches/lights function. The only problem is that the left VU meter shows no readings at all. Sound comes through both channels and the balance knob works great...

    Kenwood L-07MII + Carver AL-IIIs = magic!!

    Just finished rebuilding these Kennies that I've put off working on for ages, just never had the time. But Covid-19 has afforded me a lot of that recently. Replaced all the black flags with TDK NP0s (micas are budget prohibitive) Also replaced every electrolytic. One amp fired right up. The...

    Weak Right Channel, Only Aux and Tape Inputs

    Hey everyone, I have a Kenwood KR-4070 that I've used for about two years now with no problems but recently I noticed that the right channel is very quiet, but only while running through either the Aux or Tape inputs. The Phono input works flawlessly and has great sound through both L/R...

    What gauge wire should I use with my Kenwood KR-7600?

    Hello! I recently got my dad's Kenwood KR-7600 receiver and Kenwood KD-2055 record player set up at home. He had these hooked up to speakers throughout the house, and I couldn't take those or the wires home. So I got myself a pair of Klipsch RP-600M Bookshelf Speakers to pair with the...

    Kenwood KP-5022F

    Hello everyone! I have a KP-5022F quad TT. It's making a popping sound when the muting switch is activated/deactivated. Is there a cap that needs replacing on these that would fix this? I've noticed on some other threads that Dual TT have the same issue and a cap replacement could be the remedy...

    Hey all, I just picked up a pretty little ka-7300 and I'm eager to introduce her to my Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grands.... I was surprised however to find that banana plugs don't fit into the Kenwood unit. Worse, the points of attachment for speaker wire are teenie tiny, a real small gauge...

    Basket Case KA-7002 need some guidance

    I bought it cheap knowing it didn't have sound output. Didn't know until I got it that there were literally parts missing on the amp card and definite signs of being worked on. I've subbed in proper replacements where needed, making sure to check, recheck orientation and pinouts as needed. It...

    Kenwood KA-701/7011 relay transistors

    Hi! Got my first Kenwood amp, and looking forward using it. Want to see if I like the sound of it or not. So far the unit works fine, but was clicking the relay really slowly. Was taking up to 30 seconds. Switching the relay for the new Omron (found recommendations on the old threads here). It...

    Good morning fellow AK'ers. It's a long shot but hoping someone out there might have an early model KA-7002 they could post close up pics of the amp board and maybe the relay wiring for bonus points. I have one that someone has been into. Some parts were missing and others have been changed but...

    Kenwood LS-1000 - pricing the rare

    Looking to get an idea of what my Kenwood LS-1000’s may be worth. I would list them in a conservative 7/10 condition with all drivers working and foam intact. I picked these up a few years ago and used them until I purchased my KEF LS50’s last year. There are some things about the Kenwood's I...

    Kenwood KRF-V4070D short circuiting

    Hi. I have a kenwood krf-v4070d, that keeps turning off, after 5 seconds, and the standby indicator blinks. I have tried to take all inputs and outputs out. But it still keeps short circuiting. Any idea if it can be fixed? It was working before.

    Kenwood KR-2400 Project

    Hi guys, I'm starting a Kenwood KR-2400 project and looking for assistance with parts. There's distortion on one channel and I can't measure the bias on that channel. Apparently it's common for the output transistors on this model to die, so I'd like to replace all four. Question 1: Outputs -...

    Kenwood KR-5010 EQ Board Transistor Question

    Hi, I am getting a Kenwood KR-5010 in and the Phono section is having issues. I am going to replace the transistors in the EQ board. There are 2 - 2SA978 transistors and I feel that the KSA992FBU should work but wanted to ask here for thoughts. Thank you for the help.
