A Legend who took Marantz to new heights. The Marantz KI series was very popular . RIP.
Saw the news and checked on the forum to see if someone posted and sure enough, it was there.

Rest In Peace Ken Ishiwata.
The PM5004 was my first quality amp and since then been a big fan of the brand. Am sure KI sound signature would have trickled down to the even their most basic amps. He would have been a blessed soul to have worked where his passion was.
Hope the hifi world finds more such talented guys to work their magic and make hifi more accessible to all.
