Kyrocera Home Audio


Once I owned a Kyrocera d-801 Tape Deck,

Now Kyrocera is in the fastening business 

They purchased a top Staples, Nails, and Power Tools Co.

kyocera stopped making audio gear around 1989, but their stuff was really, really good--they were sort of the japanese mcintosh, with much better build quality than the plastic junk trotted out by their peers. i still have their 861 receiver and a matching cdp--their tape decks and turntables were also first-rate.

@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.
