Give him a PM and perhaps he can scan these and send them to you. There might be a manual available on Vinylengine.com.

The Kenwood literature specifies what frequencies they were attenuating and I found a great deal of material such as reviews by googling Kenwood KD500/550.

HP of VPI once wrote that the resin crete Kenwood platform with an upgraded arm and cartridge was the best turntable he had ever heard. He bought it. Of course the high end VPI's pretty much sonically toast a Kenwood table now. Just take a look at Ray O Stat's set up under inmate systems. He has a nicely arranged VPI platform.

But the resin crete material has a superb modulus to attenuate low frequency. Much better than any material I know of from the literature I have examined. There was a great paper in Speaker builder of a guy that used quartz sand, ground rubber tire pellets, and builders epoxy to build a high modulus speaker cabinet.

Wilson came out with his composite speaker about the same time as I remember. The Wilson Watt Puppy caught many people off guard as to how much a cabinet can add or subtract to a speaker's sound.
