Arrow I'm still a Kenwood Owner!

Funny you should mention it . . .

At one point I had an "all Kenwood" system, preamp, pair of mono amps and a KENWOOD L-07 TII Tuner.

Somehow, I never sold the tuner and still have it . . . I haven't plugged it in for probably 10 years, but there it sits in all its highly touted glory. (This is not a picture of my unit, but mine looks just like this one)

The amps and preamp were from the same series as the tuner, and I recall that they sounded fairly good. i bought all new in the early to mid 80's
