So the Kenwood is fixed. All connections where resoldered and aging electronics where changed for original new ones.
Buttons and platter cleaned and as new.
It sounds really good the Ortofon X3MC is still good. Compaired to my Revox i have more drive and separation of instruments.
Wider soundstage and bith better bass.

Also a proud owner of a KD770D just a step down from the 990, it's a fantastic table. Nudged out my KD500 / Grace 707 combo which by the way replaced two tables highly regarded here. Congrats on your new table, these beasts aren't hard on the eyes either.
Thanks i am very happy with it. Your KD770 is a Nice one also. Which cartridge are you using?
I need some information to level my headshell. What is the type and size of the nut on the underside of the wand just after the headshell connector?

The pic is from the net, my table came with a Denon DL301 but it was destroyed by the maidinator and her trusty dust rag before I had the chance to hear it, along with the Grado Platinum that was on my KD500, ARRRG.
Currently running a Clearaudio Concept V2, sounds awesome connected to my Kenwood KA-7300 and Infinity Modulus I bedroom setup. The 7300 isn't compatible with LOMC, future plans include a SUT allowing me to make the change from MM. I will say the aluminum bodied Concept looks like it's organically part of the KD arm, asthetiques are also a big part of this hobby for me.

Hard to beat the sound from an Infinity Emit ribbon driver, Arnie sure knew what he was doing.
Yep absolutely correct. I also had several Genesis speakers which sound a little more polite.
Could you check if your D770 has a tiny screw on the underside of the wand just behind the headshell connector and what kind of type and size it is?

A small phillips head that any jewelers screw driver kit would accomodate.

I've owned a B795, the best ergos ever, a blind person could operate it within a few minuits of familiarization. Flawless function and reliability.
Having said that, it's also a resonance festival. It's capable of good but not great SQ, the Kenny should be miles ahead once properly set up. The one thing you lose is the linear zero-error tracking with no skating force to comp.

Are you sure it is an small phillips screw?
I can not clearly look under it and see what it is.

I have the Kenwood KD 990 and it's a fantastic turntable, I'm using it with a atVM95ml and I love it
