Excellent - waiting for updates
I just pulled one of the very same off the shelf and pointing it at the variac in preparation for a trip to my new tech (a guy I happened on and who went through and fixed my Marantz 2275 - the one that the previous electronics shop had for 8 fricken months, half-assed fixed and charged me nearly $200!)
So tell me about yours and, if there's trouble, I'll maybe have some insight on what's up with mine!

happy Kenny owner!
I love this thing! It sounds fantastic with my JBL62 Monitors hooked up. I need a better source component as my only extra cd player right now is my Playstation 1, unfortunately, my 1st Gen PSx with the separate RCA connections has a bad laser assembly that I need to replace. But regardless, it has the potential to sound even better. The cassette stage sounds great too! I have a Denon DRA-500 that mates well with it. I love that it is built like a tank. The only issue I have is how harsh the power up is, since the power knob is also the speaker selector. I suppose they fixed this in the KA5002 which has a separate switch. But, it's a minor inconvenience given the sound that this thing produces. It is solid and well built. I'm actually about to connect a Pioneer DV-333 to see if CDs will sound better, which I predict they will. But this weekend I will be scouring the thrifts for a dedicated CD player. I did not get a chance to take pics as of yet, but as they say, patience is a virtue.

weird static
Hey guys, I'm getting a weird static kind of like a bad radio station interfering. It turns off when I switch to speaker "B" or anything other than Speaker "A". It's only when the amp is idle and you can still kind of hear it when a source is playing. sometimes it goes away when I turn it up loud enough. Does it sound like it just needs a good cleaning or something? Otherwise, it's great.
