[Brian:
I have found that the pads are too loud on some settings.
I am new at Technics so I must learn a lot of new stuff about the KN7000. The manual could be a lot better and explain in detail as to some of the operation.
It is fun and challenging to explore and find out what makes it "tick".
In a previous answer I have stated that our dealer will provide classes on the 7000 so I am really looking forward to them.
