With 100 watts per channel, a 0.05% THD rating, and a frequency response stretching all the way to 70kHz, the specs tell part of the story, but the listening experience tells the rest. The built-in 7-band graphic equalizer means you have real control over your sound without needing a separate EQ unit, and the phono input makes it an ideal centerpiece for a vinyl-focused setup. Whether you're building a retro HiFi system, upgrading from a budget receiver, or simply want a reliable workhorse amp with genuine Japanese craftsmanship behind it, the KA-87 is a standout find. Units in very good working condition don't come up often — this one is ready to plug in and enjoy.
