A handsome example of Kenwood’s classic KA-60 integrated amplifier, dating from the early 1980s. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the KA-60 combines a clean, understated vintage aesthetic with impressive performance and the versatility expected from a quality integrated amplifier of its era.
This is an excellent-condition example, making it a great choice for a vintage stereo system, vinyl listening setup, or collector of classic Japanese hi-fi equipment.
The KA-60 delivers 30 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with a remarkably wide 10Hz–100kHz frequency response and low 0.08% total harmonic distortion. It includes a built-in moving-magnet phono stage for connecting a turntable, along with tuner, auxiliary, tape, and microphone inputs.
