Hi guys, I recently picked up a Kenwood Ka-601 local for $25. It was in desperate need of a cleaning and some Deoxit but other then that, one broken switch post, and ALL FOUR nuts holding down the transformer coming loose it was in good shape.
The problem is it just seems way underpowered for a 60 watt amp. The Kenwood with the volume knob at 3o'clock is about equal to my SX-750 at 12o'clock and my Sansui 7070 at around 11o'clock.
Does that seem normal? I'm afraid to go any post that position for fear of clipping the amp and damaging my speakers. The only other concern I had was that I can't tell if the DC coupling switch is working. IT doesn't seem to have an effect on the sound. Should there be a drastic or at least noticeable change when it's on?
Thanks.
