Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:64545592 | Model: KA-8150 |
| Type: Integrated Amplifier | Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
| Brand: Kenwood | Featured Refinements: Kenwood KA |
A very rare European version of the Kenwood KA-8100, the KA-8150. I replaced some leaky capacitors that are known to go bad on this model and reflowed the solder in known problem areas. DC offset was set to 0mv and bias was set to 14mv per factory spec. All controls were cleaned with Deoxit D5, all functions tested good. This is built to last and very powerful.
