Define leaner if you can , some people feel my Aragon 18K is lean I see it as neutral . For some reason (that reason is plastic)the Kenwoods are prone to breaking off the power switch I see , that said it seems well built . Thankz for your info

Evenin 2channel,
The easy one first. The actual switch on the 615 is really metal, with push on dress up parts, just like the Sansui. In the vertical direction they are just fine but when loaded horizontally they bend quite easily and unfortunately when straightened tend to snap off. So if the tuner is being shipped, loosely packed in the horizontal, and the switch is not protected, the odds are that it arrives pre-bent for the new owner and when it is straightened, well you get the picture. I think the only reason its not a problem on the Sansuis is that the switch in the Sansui's is recessed behind the faceplate which provides some support horizontally while the Kenwood switch is mounted close to the faceplate with absolutely no support from the faceplate.
As for the "lean" comment, as a rule, in both my systems, one tube one SS the lower midrange of the Kenny's as a rule seems a little light. I guess the best way to explain would be like having two neutral amps one approaching from the fat (Tube) side and the other from the lean (SS) side. Both are approaching neutral , just from different directions.
At least for me which one sound "Best" depends more on what system they're feeding, its all in the synergy. And before someone asks I have heard/own most of the better tuners in both lines.
HA
