Hi there! Just curious, would Kenwood still be worth considering in the home-audio world, although they moved to car audio a few years back? Because I mean while they were in the home-audio business, they built their stuff like tanks and they had some of the best equipment out there.

budget=100$ SQ=the only important thing to me. which would be the best value? what brands\models of old receivers to look for?

Hi all, I have a vintage Kenwood K-88 integrated amp with what I believe to be 100 watts of power per channel (at 8 ohms) and I have a pair of Beyer DT880 600 ohms coming my way. I will be playing my music from my desktop and laptop computers and I most definitely need to buy a DAC to use with...

Hey,    I'm just getting into audio as hobby, something which my father used to be into a while ago. While rooting around his old stuff I noticed he had a Kenwood KA-660D amp. I have no knowledge of how good it may be. He claims its a very good amp, yet I have some doubts. As a result I was...
