Kenwood KT-8300
Kenwood KT-9900
preliminary
Healthy, good-sounding, technically excellent 6-gang tuner.
Much stricter looks-wise than the Supreme 600T but nearly as good, sound-wise.
Supreme notwithstanding, this is Trio's top before the L-02A masterpiece.
Later available as a KT-9900 depending on market, with identical looks but upgraded finish and "gun metal" color. The latter still fetches high prices in Japan - case in point.
More images soon from japanese sources not yet scanned.
And much more about the KT-8300's circuits at the FM Tuner Info.
