Kenwood VR-4900 High-End Audiophile Receiver + PowerTouch Remote - A Rare OpportunityA Fathers Day Gift That Deserves a New ChapterThis Kenwood VR-4900 receiver is not just a piece of equipment; it’s a cherished memory. I was the original buyer, and it was a special Fathers Day gift I gave to my late father, who I now deeply miss. He was an audiophile at heart, and this receiver was a testament to his love for music and impeccable sound quality. As I pass it on, I hope it finds a home where it will be appreciated just as much as he did. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of audio history, and I would be thrilled to see it go to someone who understands its value.Why You Shouldn’t Miss Out on This Kenwood VR-4900This isn’t just any receiver—it’s one of the last high-end models Kenwood produced before exiting the North American market. If you’re serious about sound, the Kenwood VR-4900 is a treasure. It stands toe-to-toe with elite models from Onkyo Integra, Sony ES, and other top-tier brands. They truly don’t make them like this anymore.Exceptional Features & Specifications:Audiophile-Grade Sound: Experience unparalleled audio fidelity with a built-in HDCD decoder and a 32-bit D.R.I.V.E III High-Resolution 6-Channel DAC, perfect for playing your lossless files or high-resolution audio streams, even today. It is also compatible with most current sound cards via SPDIF/Optical.Advanced Connectivity: Featuring discrete 6-channel input and 7 optical inputs, this receiver is designed to handle any modern audio setup, ensuring an immersive experience.Innovative PowerTouch RF Remote: This is more than just a remote—its a command center. With a touch screen, stylus, and X10 home automation compatibility, it’s designed to simplify and elevate your home theater experience. The remote even displays RDS data directly when in the Tuner menu.Pro Tip: To ensure optimal performance, set the remote’s internal switch to RF Band 3 or 2. Hold the Setup button on the receiver after powering it on to match the RF Band. Note that RF Band 1 may interfere with 5G WiFi routers.Elegant and Functional Design: From the motorized drop-down door controlled via remote to the stunning piano finish wood side panels, this receiver is as much a visual delight as it is a sonic powerhouse.Exceptional Build Quality: Featuring a solid steel chassis, aluminum faceplate, fully discrete amplifiers, and a heavy-duty power transformer, this receiver is built to last. And with its low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of just 0.03%, it includes a clipping indicator to protect your speakers during high-volume playback.Vinyl Enthusiasts Welcome: Unlike many brands that phased out phono inputs in the late 90s, this Kenwood VR-4900 retains its high-quality phono input, making it perfect for enjoying your vinyl collection.Condition:Receiver: Grade A-. The unit is in outstanding condition, with only minor, barely noticeable marks. The side panels have some minor scuffs from being placed in an audio cabinet, but overall, it looks practically brand new. The only small imperfection is with the Speaker A terminals—two of the bottom black speaker posts have some plastic base damage, likely due to my father’s use of thicker speaker wire. However, they still securely hold speaker wires and function perfectly. See pictures for details.Remote: Grade B. The remote shows some wear and tear, a testament to years of faithful service. Minor battery corrosion has been meticulously cleaned, and it still provides full voltage and functions flawlessly. The included stylus and nostalgic Indiglo-style backlight are in great condition.Specifications:Power Output: 130 watts per channel into 6 ohms (stereo mode)Frequency Response: 7Hz to 90kHzTotal Harmonic Distortion: 0.03%Signal to Noise Ratio: 74dB (MM), 97dB (line)Input Sensitivity: 2.5mV (MM), 200mV (line)Speaker Load Impedance: 6 to 16 ohmsVideo Connections: Composite, S-VideoDigital Inputs: 7 optical inputs, coaxial inputsTerms:This receiver is being sold as-is due to the nature of electronics. However, I guarantee it is not DOA (Dead on Arrival). Included in this auction are the Kenwood VR-4900 Receiver, PowerTouch Remote, Setup Guide, User Guide, and the essential RF antenna designed for optimal reception.Shipping Information:I understand how frustrating it is to receive poorly packaged items, only to find them damaged. That’s why I’m committed to doing things differently. Your Kenwood VR-4900 will be carefully packed using high-quality, brand-new materials—no recycled boxes, flimsy peanuts, or deteriorated musty foam pads. Shipping costs reflect this dedication to proper packaging and a newly purchased extra heavy duty box as well as new padding materials, ensuring that this exceptional receiver arrives at your home in the same pristine condition it leaves mine.Questions?If you have any questions or if theres anything I didn’t cover in the listing, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
