The 7 Kenwood engineers involved in the Kenwood 07 project did a lot of basic research to design this turntable, so the heavy plinth is made from different materials. Placing the L-07D was easy, as I still have the HRS M3x platform, originally designed for a Brinkmann balance, which fits the L-07D like designed for this turntable.Īs the Kenwood list of accessories shows thick rubber feet to be placed underneath the turntable feet as well, I used the GRS Nimbus feet under the Kenwood original feet. Still missing is the centering tool to better place the outer ring, if used on top of a record. Outer Ring (in the Netherlands), and the related I learned, that I have an early version of the turntable and that the optional accessory kit was missing. Nearly all and everything is documented on this page, which was very helpful : Went home with the Kenwood L-07D in my carĪt home I started the google research about this turntable. The Kenwood played the different Three Blind Mice Jazz records in a way, that I had to listen to them again and again, finally I made to the owner an offer and The former reference product from Trio / Kenwood:
But important for me was, that I was familiar with the different turntables,īut not with my personal "winner" of the shoot out. I am using the Japanese Three Blind Mice Jazz records to compare, as nearly everyone I am visiting has this records in his collection.Ĥ weeks ago I was invited to a shoot out, some actual turntables in the 20k region, some vintage turntables, belt drive and direct drive.Īs all of the turntables have their own fan boy culture, I am not going to list them up.
