Description from the seller

Very rigid Kenwood A-74 (often referred to as the KA-74 variant) is a solid-state integrated stereo amplifier manufactured in Japan between the late 1980s and early 1990s. The model is notably recognized as a core component of the complete Kenwood M-74 Midi system from the 1990–1991 period.
Below are the key technical features and specifications of this vintage amplifier.

Feature Specification
Output power 75 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) 2x 100W @ 4 Ohm
Frequency response 10 Hz to 100 kHz
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 0.09%
Damping factor 20
Input sensitivity 2.5 mV (MM turntable), 150 mV (line input)
Signal-to-noise ratio 73 dB (MM), 100 dB (line input)
Dimensions (W x H x D) 420 x 109 x 280 mm
Weight 7.0 kg
Features & Connectivity
• Solid-State Technology: Utilizes transistors, ensuring accurate sound reproduction and reliable power handling compared to tube amplifiers.
• Phono Input: Equipped with a Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage, allowing for the direct connection of a traditional turntable without an external preamplifier.
• System Integration: The A-74 supports system remote control functionality when paired with matching components from the M-series. Individual KA-74 units from 1985–1986 were originally supplied without a standalone remote control.
• Color: Primarily finished in brushed black metal, matching the typical hi-fi aesthetic of that era.
