case is a very effective solution. The close integration between the K2
and the amp is a joy to behold. I use this configuration, but with
the KAT-100 automatic tuner as well. You need the KIO2 in the K2 itself
if you don't already have it installed. This is a bit of a hit, cost
wise, but I think you would be happier in the long run. There are
indicate. If you decide to go this way, I can offer some additional
tips that will help during the build process.
