Todays thrift score was a minty Kenwood KA-6000 integrated amp in its original box for $90. I think that it was one of those deals where it sat in someone's closet for years without being played, and they decided to give it to the thrift shop to "make space". No dust in the interior that I can see, so I didn't take off the back, and amazingly there were no crackle issues with the pots and switches so I haven't hit the amp with a deoxy clean. The unit is clean with its wood siding, is that walnut?
At the thrift shop there was also a Kenwood tuner in original box, prolly the tuner that was purchased with the original system. That was $55. I don't listen to the radio, so I took a pass. What do you think, should I buy that too?
Anyway, I hooked up my Legendary Concept 2QD TT to the unit, with a pair of KEF q60s, and my records are sounding crystal clear. Really a classic Mid Century Modern piece.
any reflections on this make and model by Kenwood?
