    Description

    100V unit imported from Japan. Unit has had contacts cleaned and recapped, including large (expensive) filter caps (0 alone, part no. 'LNT1K333MSE'). Relays replaced with premium heavy duty substitutes.
    Original Sanken output transistors (2SA744/2SC1402).
    Exterior shows some normal wear for its age. Construction and materials are very rigid and durable.
    Subjective opinion: Best solid state amp I've heard to date -- manages to to have tube-like qualities, but without the somewhat common rolled off treble/bass.
    This is the 100V version, so you would need a step-down transformer for North America 120V.
    Unit is very heavy, so local pickup is preferred. Contact me if you're interested in shipping.
