    Guess why my Kenwood KD5066 is so heavy

    Brick in PL-L1000? No, my PL-L1000 has no added weights in it. Weighs a ton without it. I did just pick up a KD-5066 though and wonder if any of the Kenwood Guru's out there can enlighten me regarding the plastic center pins on the dedicated phono-plugs? I'm getting no signal using them...

    Philips FB825 speakers

    Rotel RX-603

    Rick, I've probably owned around 100 vintage receivers over the years. Although I design and build tube gear I have great admiration for the quality of many of the SS receivers built thru the end of the 70's. I have owned two Rotel's in this series and found them to be quite good sonically and...
