    KEF 103.4 Crossover (sp2175) Help

    The reason I need the photo is the former owner changed every cap and every resistor. I have found 3 caps at the wrong value based on the other crossover he only partially modified. There are 3 caps in particular that were changed on both i need to verify.

    Lunarfox, I replaced every cap in the entire C1. Like you say they were not expensive and while I was in there I did them.

    Kenwood Basic C1 Preamplifier Restoration/Upgrade

    Now to my listening tests to this point. I have not tried the phono section yet so these comments are aimed at the general preamp section. I have several other preamps and my Yamaha CX-1000 stands at the top I also have a CX-800. These seem like fair vintage comparisons. The C1 beats the CX-800...
