That was my combo, albeit with a Grace F9e super, back in the day. One of the best DD tables for the money to come out of the seventies ! |

Apart from the Yamaha YP-D10 which I own a year later, the Kenwood KD500 is a SUPERB turntable (coupled with the Grace 704 tonearm, own both versions, wood as well as drilled circular holes) I should not have sold.
Jim, I really envy you as you have a such a clean MINT piece. Simply beautiful and a real classic! It does not matter if its Direct Drive, Belt of Idler, as long as its well engineered and a beautiful piece, its is a collector piece and you have one such good one! Enjoy!

Old thread, but I'm new here. I have the kd 500 which I bought new in 1980. It came with the black widow arm. I sold the arm a few years back. What I remember most about this combo was how sensitive to vibration it was. The tone arm was so light weight, any footfall or heavy bass would be heard. I was going to mount a Rega RB 301 on the table, but bought a music hall mmf5 really cheap. Maybe one day I will try to get it going again. It's in really good shape....
