Hello all! :)

I think it's high time we all basked in the warm LED-lit glow of my beautiful Kenwood receiver:

:stalks:

80 Watts into 8 ohms, capable of hitting 250W peaks into 4 ohms.

Heavily biased to class A, some of the preamp sections are pure class A according to the service manual.

Stepped switched tone controls - not sure if the volume control is a true stepper - need to get inside. Some of the switches need cleaning anyway.

Handles MM and MC cartridges.

Sounds sweet.

Black :cool:

From the early 80's, around '82 - '84 I think :scratch:

It will be from 84 onwards, Kenwood were still Trio in or around 84 me thinks.

Nice though... I love Trio/Kenwood kit

Some sites suggest '82 to '85.

It has the bell wire twist-to-lock speaker terminals which had pretty much died out around that time.

It has no input marked CD, only AUX.
