Costruito da Micro Seiki, è uno dei migliori giradischi a trazione diretta mai messi in vendita. L’unico con la struttura a ragno.. Si tratta di un apparecchio mai utilizzato, con il ferma braccio originale ancora attaccato. Non intendo spedire.
Da Audio Karma: The Kenwood KD 990 is superb, one of their finest and one of the best DD tables of all time, I rank it in the top 15 DD of all time. Kenwood's best no holds barred DD offering was the L-07D (I rate that one as Top 10) (the KD 990 was next best, and this classic is superb).
Da hifishark
Like many (if not most) of the other Japanese industrial giants, Kenwood was a major player in the HiFi business during the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s, and ‘90s. Eventually, however, Kenwood left the centre stage for good during the ‘90s and, even among HiFi enthusiasts, only few know about their past achievements.
One very worthwhile part of Kenwood’s legacy is a collection of turntables. Kenwood’s bid for the ultimate turntable was the superb Kenwood L07-D (1978), which is arguably one of the greats. In the wake of this table Kenwood produced a sequence of very very good products that retained as many of the L-07D design principles as possible at a much lower price point. The KD-990 is one of those products.
The KD-990 Turntable
The Kenwood KD-990 is part of a family of tables that all share the same basic qualities. In fact, the KP-1100, KP-9010, KD-7010, and KD-8030 seem to differ from the KD-990 only in minor cosmetic aspects. Each of these tables served as flagship of the Kenwwod consumer range in Japan (KP models) or elsewhere (KD models) sometime during the '80s.
Underneath the piano glossed wooden plinth the KD-990 hides an extremely rigid "Closed Loop Frame Structure”. This is a die-cast base that supports motor and arm and ensures shelf decoupling via massive rubber feet. As shown in the picture, some people use the table without the plinth and mount several tonearms on the base.
