Up for auction is a vintage Kenwood KD‑500 high‑quality direct‑drive turntable, admired for its exceptional stability and iconic composite stone plinth - a dense calcium‑carbonate/resin blend that earned it the nickname “The Rock.” This manual‑operation deck features a sleek smoke‑tinted dust cover and the classic KD‑500 design, originally sold without a tonearm so owners could install their preferred high‑end arm, often pairing it with models like the SME‑3009. Known for its vibration‑resistant construction and audiophile‑grade performance, the KD‑500 remains a sought‑after piece for collectors and vintage audio enthusiasts.
The turntable does power on and the platter spins, suggesting it is operational, but we were unable to test sound output due to not having a compatible record setup available.
Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Feel free to reach out with any questions - and as always, happy bidding!
