One of the better sounding integrated Kenwood amps. Kenwood KA-2002 is a very warm and accurate sounding amp after total recap and tuning up. I am amazed at the way these older amps sound and could be mistaken for a tube amp. Sounds much better than other NAD, Marantz and Sansui amps I have worked on. All Speaker connectors (4) were updated and filter capacitor was replaced with a much more musical cap(NICHICON KG SUPER THROUGH series). Lots of punch now in the bass section and VERY accurate highs. Electrolytic capacitors in the signal path upgraded to Elna "Silmic II" audio-grade capacitors and Nichicon KZ premium grade acoustic series. Power supply and most other small electrolytics replaced with Nichicon FG and KG capacitors. Most of the film caps in the under 1uf range replaced with "Orange Drops". ALL original bulbs replaced. All rotary and push-button switches cleaned with DeOxit G5 Gold. All potentiometers flushed twice with DeOxit FaderLube. Chassis metal cleaned and protectant applied. PS and audio signal path circuit boards carefully cleaned, inspected and any suspect solder connections reflowed. DC offset zeroed and idle current set to factory specs (after one-hour warm-up/stabilization period). Ran for a week with no heat build up or any loss of signal or distortion. Runs cool all day. New Faceplate (NOS). This is my last Kenwood in stock. I have sold out of every Kenwood I had up for sale. This unit is basically the same as the KA4002 but just "A" speaker connectors only. Same driver board, same filter cap and same power supply. Get it while its still available!
