AA- More than welcome.
I wish I had your eloquence and knowledge when writing about some of my gear. My path with Kenwood gear in many ways got started at the suggestion of Mr.P when I came across my first Kenwood Basic C1. I think the later BPC that Kenwood put out at the time you were describing it has contributed to somewhat lowered reputation that Kenwood has among audio enthusiasts. That is fine by me as it has allowed me to pick up some nice pieces of gear at below market prices. I certainly have more Kenwood gear than any other make in my collection and though I would say it is high-fi across the board but most of it fits pretty solidly into the mid-fi group. I have a KT-7500 tuner that i like though the signal strength is weaker than I would like when compared to other tuners operating in the same area. When it does get a stations "sweet spot" I think the sound is extremely detailed for a tuner. Have you had a chance to makes some observations about the KT-6007?
Any chance you could add some pics???
