Great work Mike, educating the public on the quality of older audio gear. Today's gear are built cheaply and flimsily to a strict parts budget, with some exceptions, however, one is paying thousands if not tens of thousands for those well built modern equivalents.

That is one well cared for old Kenwood; just some TLC to bring it back up where its supposed to function. Thanks for your time showcasing this unit; I'm going to keep an eye out for a nice one.

I found an Kenwood DP-990SG CD player in the bulky waste. I took it home and tried it out right away. Unfortunately the drawer didn't open. I opened the player and changed the drive belt for the drawer by using a service manual. In addition, the last owner had bent open the holder for the CD. It just has to bend down again. ever since, this incredible player has been playing like the first day and looking like a display piece.

Two transformers, is that one for the digital section, and other for the analogue section?

Correct, a really nice way to do things and common on better players, even these days.

Got a hold of 880SG and display works, mechanism works, but when I load in a CD it just doesnt read it and displays a "no disk" icon after a couple of seconds. Haven't opened it yet but I hope it is something relatively simple, maybe dirty reader or something

Hello. Does it play less dynamic but more warm and more refined for classical music than my Philips CD 880 or Rotel RCD 971? Or how would you put it between my CDP's ? Thanks.
@LiquidAudio2 жыл бұрын
The simple answer is you need to hear one and find out how it compares for you. Worth also thinking about what your goal here is though in terms of a better player, different player, etc.
@thevintagehifiambassador85242 жыл бұрын
not essy, my goal is fast, uncomplicated, lots of CD interchanges, long listening, no fatiguing, lots of details but no need for the maximum, cosy listening with a player which does not fail.

Not sure if you'll see this comment as it's an older video. Fellow Aussie here although I'm in Melbourne. Just looking for some advice on a Kenwood CD player as you seem to be quite knowledgeable about these things. Purchased as a component system tuner/amp, tape deck and cd player etc back in 1995. CD Player Model is Kenwood dp-r896 to be exact. The CD player works but starts skipping on some tracks. I have also found that it doesn't seem to play on all disc slots. It's a 5 slot unit. Information I have found online suggest a re-lubrication of the drive mechanisms. Just wanting to see if you may have come across similar faults in the past. It did get pretty heavy use in the first 10 years or so. Not so much now. If I do use it now most of the time I just hook up a laptop to the aux input and play music through KZbin. I would like to keep it going. Quite attached to these older units as you are. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Lawrence, yes, I see this almost every day with CD players I work on. My standard advice would be to have the player professionally serviced, we could do that for you if you lived in Perth for example. Some laser wear is to be expected at this age too and must be considered.

@@LiquidAudio Thanks for the quick response. I'll have a further look at it. I'm pretty confident with electronics and have done quite a few repairs in the past. This was the field I was originally going to enter after I last school. Did a university diploma on the subject at RMIT but priorities changed and I ended up in a different field of work. Still maintained an interest in electronics in the years since. Just hoping to fix it as it sort of holds some sentimental value.

“No display” is nothing, no light and no digits on it when it’s broken? If so, is it dry joints issue? Thanks!

In most cases like this the unit should visit a specialist repairer for an accurate diagnosis and repair. Every case is unique and I would need to inspect and test your unit to diagnose the issue/s and determine the work needed to rectify them.

Kenwood didn't use Philips mechs the mech could be Victor/JVC or Sony mechs
