In this video, I explain some considerations when correctly setting up a turntable like the Kenwood KD-600.
This particular deck came to me very poorly set-up. The deck’s owner received some very bad advice from, of all people, Ortofon! I’m a big fan of Ortofon gear, but clearly not everyone there knows what they are talking about.
Anyway, I managed to get this deck set-up very nicely with a brand new Ortofon LH-4000 headshell and Ortofon Quinet Bronze MC cartridge.
You’ll find other Kenwood KD-600 and KD-650 articles I’ve written here.

Brilliant Tim, I’m so pleased you are happy with the 600. Keep playing those records!
Very informative clip! I’ve had similar issues trying to use vintage ADC Integra carts on my KD 2055 & KD 600. Once I actually got one that still had the auxiliary weights it was all good. As you were the impetus for my purchase of a KD 600 Mike, I must tell you that not a day goes by while I’m spinning records that I don’t think about your recommendation & how it enhanced my audio experiences more than any other single factor of which I’m able to recall! Thanks so much sir, I really appreciate it!!
