You’re Probably Using Your Vintage Amp Wrong! What Do All These Switches and Buttons Do?
Vintage amplifiers are full of knobs and switches that can completely change the way your system sounds, or even make you think something is broken when it isn’t. In this episode, we walk across the front panel of a Kenwood KA-7100 integrated amplifier and explain what the controls actually do. We cover speaker selection, bass, treble, balance, tone defeat, subsonic filter, high filter, attenuator, tape monitor/source controls, input selection, loudness, and stereo/mono/reverse mode. Grab your own vintage amp or receiver and follow along as we test the functions in real time. Some changes are obvious. Some are subtle. And some of these little switches may explain why your vintage stereo has not sounded quite right. Thanks to PCBWay for supporting this episode.
