Kenwood KT-990D

I'm very (very) new to the hifi world and I've collected a few vintage and older items in the past few months. One of which is a Mint Kenwood KT-990D. Is this worth keeping or selling? What's the going price for this unit?

I really have no real need for a tuner, since I have on built in to our current head unit. How would I benefit from this model if I decide not to sale it?

Thanks guy, and I look forward to learning from this experienced, and knowledgeable community.

I bought a lowly Fisher FM2121 a while ago thinking in no way it will create any splashes in my audio sphere. Hooked it up, and... I was mesmerized. Particularly good with classical, but never shy of jazz either. With theater plays I was able to hear spatial clues I thought they would never surface. I liked this little guy so much I took it to my engineer for a thorough check up and upgrade. Tried in the mean time my Kondo AN3 CD player-nice, but it doesn't quite breathe life into instruments like the little Fisher. During occasional solo passages, instruments have enormous presence- one might say they live in the room. Quite shocking.

if you have a good quality FM station it can sound great with a great tuner...

I still enjoy my MD 102.   It still sounds pretty damn good.  I have put it head to head with a FM stream and Tune In radio through my very decent DAC and theres no comparison, the analog tuner sounds better.

I've still got what’s supposed to be a mint rare Kenwood KT-3300D PPL FM only, it sounds stunning, got everything but the kitchen sink on it, but I hardly use it.
