Congrats man. What I missed most about mine was the FM dial. Really nice to look at. Soothing.

  hi all
 
right now i have the KA-405 wich is really nice and i like the sound, but im looking for something with less bass (really important), and with better sound, the 405 got awesome headphones output so im looking for amp with awesome headphones output as well
 
Any amp from any company is good for me, as long that it has less bass then my KA405 and have really good headphones output. (probably for the HE560\LCD2)
BTW if there is more natural vinatge amp thats really good 2.
 
thought on getting the Kenwood KR-9400.. how is this amp vs. the KA9100?
 
edit: i have bright natural sound speakers, thats why im looking for more natural sound amp.

anyone?

No problem driving the dahlquist dq20's, nice! Unfortunately, I think the dynaco may have a better phono stage, or at least better synergy with my cart/turntable. I'll keep goofing around with it.

 

[SirMarc]

anyone?

Just picked up a kr-7600. Very neutral. Not bass heavy at all...

Like many vintage receivers, the KR-9400 has EQ adjustments for bass, mids, and trebles. In my experience, they are quite effective. It is most likely that you can dial down the bass with the 9400 to your liking.

how is the headphones output of this amp?


and as i said headphones output is really important for me...

Bought the Kenwood. This thing is mint, all bulbs are good, no major scratches and no static on any pots or switches. Sounds really good too. Can't believe how big it is. It has to be six inches wider than standard equipment.

Was delighted to see you stop and give 'Kenny' a ride rather than drive past and keep wondering.

 

[SirMarc]

Wow, one comment? OK, 2 now lol.

 

[SirMarc]

I'm gonna call her Kendra lol, rather give Kendra a ride.

 

[SirMarc]

I'm actually listening to a weird local station. Forgot how fun it could be...

Looks good!! Kenwoods have been flying under the radar compare to other receivers of the same period, so good deals can be had.

Sansui & pioneers are extra wide as well as extra deep. I had to build separate shelves to house these beasts.

 

[SirMarc]

Thanks, digging it so far. It really is immense. Its almost 21 inches wide and 14 and a half inches deep. To put it in perspective, my denon 7.1 channel receiver is 17.25 inches wide...

Limited shelf space:
 
My Sansui is 25+ inches in width. A few previous components had to give it up! 

 
 
(and 21.6 inches deep when connected)
