    Amp for its beautiful sound graceful. Few current rivalry. Harman Kardon comparable in its equalizer. This old model is a reference for amateur precision sound and heat. The speaker terminals are not unfortunately live up to the Class A genuine. For 150 euros or less often, enjoy! It is of course not in the same vein amp home theater packed with effects, and not very warm ... a must for the purist.

    I use it for 6 months

    the sound it shines a great way never heard anything better in this range of, and the power and dynamism.

    so I try another receiver marantz 1090 which of the APRS forum DIFFERENT would be the best of the best in vintage amp and I have no aim.

    is that price (used) it outperforms many other models

    if necessary I will take it why not

    - For how long have you been using it?
    I used this for years.

    - What thing do you like most/least about it?
    Looks great, sounds fine, almost no hiss even on max, looaads of features...very powerful...quite compact too.

    - Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    Tried a much cheaper Technics...was rubbish...some other old gear...and an Onkyo Integra A-9711. The Integra is the best.

    - What is your opinion about the value for the price?
    I got it for free, someone was throwing it out. Sold it a few years later for 120 €, so i'd say it was quite a bargain! ;-)
    The price when new must have been huuuge though. :-(

    - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...

    - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...
    I think it's a good amp!
    It had low & hi filters, loudness, 2 or 3 phono input types, tape monitors, direct aux input, 5 band eq, 4 speaker outs, phones out, fancy lights...the volume is marked in -dB so very pro...and it just looks great.

    The only problem with this is that the volume knob is not a smooth run: so you have to practice a bit before you can set the volume right, or you'll put it up/down in big chunks: takes some subtlety.
