Kyrocera Home Audio

Japanese Macintosh?? Why insult Kyocera?

@jc4659 , I also have an A-710 integrated.  It’s restored.  It’s an excellent amplifier that rivals what one can get from Luxman or Accuphase (imho) probably up to $10k….Like many from Japan in this era, the phono stage is superb.

@artemus_5  Kyocera’s focus within the home audio business was, without question, quality.  Even the lower end products were built well.  

@plinko May I ask where you had your A-710 restored? I am located in the midwest.

I am in the northeast.  I bought mine from a guy in Arizona who restored it himself.  He doesn’t do it for a living.  He did a good job…cleaned up all the glue, fully recapped, new bias pots, etc….I was also very lucky with shipping as he packed it well.  

I sympathize greatly.  It’s very hard to find people who will do this work these days.
