VERY NICE 150WPC MONSTER KENWOOD KR 8050!!!!! WORKS WELL, BUT HAS A FEW FLAWS AS LISTED IN CONDITION AND DESCRIPTION DETAILS OF THIS ADD. I UPGRADED TO LED LIGHTS AND ADDED A CUSTOM STRING LED LINE ALSO THAT REALLY MAKES THE DIAL AND METERS SHINE. I LOVE THE LIGHTS LIKE THIS AND CONSIDER IT A NICE FREE UPGRADE, BUT CHECK OUT THE PICTURES CLOSELY, THIS MAKES THE LIGHT AND FACE BRIGHTER. THE PHOTOS ACCENTUATE THE INDIVIDUAL LIGHTS OF THE STRING. IT DEFINITELY LOOKS BETTER AND MORE SUBTLE IN PERSON. THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS ARE STILL INSIDE AND WORKING, SO IT IS AN EASY (15 MINUTE OR LESS) SWITCH BACK FOR A PERSON COMFORTABLE WITH OPENING RECEIVERS UP. I ALSO CAN REMOVE THE STRING LED LIGHTS BEFORE SHIPPING IF YOU PREFER, JUST REQUEST WHEN YOU PURCHASE. I HAVE HAD INPUT FROM OTHER KR 8050 OWNERS WHO SAY THAT THE BRIGHT LED'S ARE KILLING THE SALE. THE UNIT IS ALREADY PACKED IN BOX #1 SO I AM NOT UNPACKING IT TO TAKE A PICTURE WITHOUT THE CUSTOM LIGHTS. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE AN AVERAGE 8050 WITHOUT THE CUSTOM LIGHTS. THE DIAL FACE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO LED BUT WORK PERFECTLY. I HAVE USED IT REGULARLY SINCE PURCHASING JAN. 2023. AM, FM, PHONO 1, PHONO 2, AUX. ALL USED RECENTLY AND TESTED WORKING TODAY. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A KR-9050 IS THE ONLY REASON I AM SELLING IT. OVERALL I WOULD RATE IT 9/10 MUSICALLY AND SOUND WISE, 7/10 COSMETICALLY. IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY MAJOR FLAWS BUT SEVERAL SMALL. THE FRONT FACEPLATE SHOWS EXTREMELY WELL. THE CASE HAS SOME SMALL DINGS AND THERE WAS SOME SLIGHT LOWER EDGE PEELING THAT I SECURED WITH SILICONIZED GLUE. I CLEANED AND DETAILED THE ENTIRE UNIT INSIDE AND OUT AS WELL AS POLISHING ALL THE KNOBS AND ALUMINUM WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. THE POTS AND SWITCHES WERE CLEANED WITH DEOXIT AND OPERATES QUIETLY. SPEAKERS A, B, & C ALL WORK, BUT FOR SOME REASON UNKNOWN, A&B COMBINED DOESN'T WORK, BUT I DIDN'T TRY VERY HARD TO CLEAN IT FURTHER TO GET THAT TO WORK BECAUSE I ONLY USED TWO SPEAKERS AT A TIME.. THE POWER METERS AND SIGNAL STRENGTH METER WORKS PERFECTLY, BUT THE TUNING METER WON'T CENTER WHEN TURNED TO FM. I JUST TUNED WITH SIGNAL STRENGTH AND EAR, BUT I CONSIDER THIS THE UNITS WORST FLAW. FM & STEREO INDICATOR RED LEDS DO NOT LIGHT UP. NARROW BAND RED LED INDICATOR ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. ALL OTHER LIGHTS AND INDICATORS TESTED WORKING. I TRY MY UTMOST BEST TO DESCRIBE AND REPRESENT ANYTHING I SELL ACCURATELY AND HIGHLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS IN PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTION. I ALSO SPENT 6-8 HOURS CLEANING, DETAILING, UPGRADING, TESTING AND FIXING THIS RECEIVER TO THE BEST OF MY LIMITED ABILITIES. I AM NOT A TECHNICIAN, BUT MERELY AN OBSESSED ENTHUSIAST.
I AM EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED AT SHIPPING HEAVY RECEIVERS LIKE THIS AND WILL DOUBLE BOX YOUR RECEIVER AND PACK IT VERY SNUGGLY WITH PADDING ON EVERY SIDE, TOP, AND BOTTOM. BUY CONFIDENCE FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO GET YOUR RECEIVER TO YOU SAFELY. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF AN ELECTRONICS PURCHASE ONLINE. THIS RECEIVER WILL ARRIVE AS PICTURED AND DESCRIBED!
