[Vintage-Audio] Re: Kenwood KR 9600 found

[Rick Larson]

Fred,
I do have a workshop.  However, I'll need to start lifting weights 
before I want to move the Kenwood around :-).

I have many amps/preamps/tuners but bought my first receiver a few 
months ago for my son's room.  It is a 70s Sony that I picked up from a 
local thrift.  Replaced one fuse, tightened the tuner knob, brought it 
up on a varaic and it works great.  Not very powerful but easy to 
'justify'.  When I brought in a Mac pre, it raised an eyebrow.  It is 
much easier to move amps in and out :-).  I did rotate in a 6sn7 pre 
last week and the exposed tubes where more of a problem than 'where did 
you get that?'.

I think another son is getting a stereo system.
