To clarify, I do believe the Kinki. Is functioning normal. The issues are really the whole front circuit board that attaches the 2 knobs and front display are all very loose. 1/4 - 1/2 of play on the knobs up and down and in and out. Back bottom left corner is nicked which is nuts because its 1/4 thick...
anyhow, this was a used unit in pristine shape. Seller is awesome and now someone I consider to be my friend. Old timer in the game and he knows just about everyone. Fritz and he are good friends and I consider Fritz a good friend as well.
Not to always plug Fritz’s speakers, but they are awesome. Buy a pair if you are looking and on the fence. Salk is great as well but more expensive and longer wait times. Frit’z veneer work is on par if not better than Salk.
Sorry to digress but yes, the Kinki is just awesome. I really liked my Belles Aria and Raven as well but the Kinki is more in line with the upgrade I was looking for. The things internals are just gorgeous. I have never personally owned an amp with a better layout internally. Very simple, straightforward, no bs layout with really nice stuff in there. Reminds me of the Arias internals only multiplied by 2.
no complaints with the kinki. Hopefully I can recoup some money from fed ex, fix the kinki myself and keep it.
Anyone considering a kinki...if the sound profile fits your desires, grab one. The build quality is awesome, its jewelry to look at (only surpassed by rowland in my opinion, not talking triangle art or whatever).
