Hey guys,
I'm brand new so go easy on me. I've been lurking on the forum on and off for a few months as there is some pretty handy information on here.
Anyway, the reason I need help is I inherited a stack media system around 4 months ago and built it up yesterday afternoon.
I've got the following all wired up and working:
All Kenwood.
P-82 direct drive fully automated turntable
GE-420 graphic equaliser
A-82 amplifier.
It did also include a tape Deck and CD player which I have put to one side as I have no use for them.
Now when I've tried to find out information about the system (the amp at the moment), the only info I can find about the amp is on this forum so.... Is it quite rare? Or was it not a commercial success in the uk? What gives!
Did kenwood just not sell any or is it because it's a late 70's/early 80's system and the Internet wasn't available for people to write about it?
Secondly, the P-82 turntable... Again I have literally found 0 info about it. I know it's a direct drive purely as it says so on the front of the case but it's infuriating!
It auto cues, auto return and everything at the touch of a button! Pretty cool really.
I basically want to know if I've got a system worth keeping or if it's worth just sticking it on EBay or something similar?
For a 40 year old system it sounds fantastic considering the cartridge hasn't been changed and it's been mostly sat in a garage for a good 15 years.
I've now got it wired up to two analogue floor standing speakers and phono out wired up to my surround sound cinema system as it has a really decent subwoofer and adds a nice kick to the lower tones the floor standing speakers can't manage.
Thanks in advance for any replies guys, looking forward to any help you might be able to offer.
