 __________________________________
 
One of the classic, "old standby's" of the audio world. The Dynaco PAT-4 Pre-Amp. Brushed aluminum face with matching "milled" look knobs. This is also a VERY WELL DESIGNED & BUILT unit:
 
Dynaco Pat-4 features:


- Separate L & R, Bass and Treble 
- Stereo-Mono switches to provide A or B channels independently or combined (A+B) with 6 dB blend for 3rd channel output
 - L / R Balance

 - Phono input
- Tuner input (can also be used for Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / XM / SIRIUS etc. as well as for CDR)
- High filter switch @ 15 KHz, 10 KHz, and 7 KHz
 - Low Filter selector
- SPARE (AUX) input for (CD / DVD /DAT / iPod / VCR / MP3 / XM / SIRIUS etc. inputs)
- RCA outputs for feeding power amp
- 4 AC convenience outlets on rear panel (2 switched and 2 un-switched)

 
Dynaco Pat-4 Original Specs:

2 Audio outputs (one switched by front panel jack)

 
This was from Dynaco's first series of solid-state audio components. Again, we have completely gone through the unit. One note about Dynaco Pat-4 pre amps is that, like a few other 'vintage' units, is due to the close proximity of the input jacks, you will need to utilize fairly 'normal' jacketed RCA connectors, as there is not enough room to 'squeeze' some of the 'fatter' RCA jacks (usually seen on 'high end' 'interconnects'). Following the above listed service, functions have been tested and pass with flying colors! Cosmetically, about the only other issue is that the face panel has most of the word "POWER" for the 'On-Off' switch, that was silk-screened on it rubbed off. Pre-amp looks decent and sounds great. Includes an 'e-copy' pdf download of the Dynaco PAT-4 owners / users / instruction manual.
 Unit measures 13.5" wide x 9" deep x 4.5" high and weighs ~4 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty.

SHIPPING TO STANLEY IN NEVADA


ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.

ü  Unit bench checked / tested.

ü  Amp has been cleaned inside and out.

ü  Face removed, meter illumination lens removed, cleaned and reattached.

ü  Bias adjusted to proper 13mVDC per SM.

ü  DC Offset able to be adjusted all the way down to 0 (ZERO) VDC!

ü  All functions have been tested and pass with flying colors!

Amp designed using Huge Power Supply Transformers and oversized, vertical finned heat sink for very efficient and quiet, fan induction cooling of output devices. All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! Following restoration procedures, we burned it in, in the shop at continuous volume for 48 hours straight and it functioned flawlessly.
   

While this amp is originally rated at 220 Watts with both channels driven, on our test bench, this particular unit's (#...0981) amplifiers produced 46 Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 260 Watts / channel and 40 Volts at 4 Ohms per channel for 400 Watts / channel via discrete output devices (Sanken 2x DAT1018N & 2x DAT1018P & 2x DAT1521N & 2x DAT1521P {8 total}
). (Idle AC current draw @ .5A.
Floor noise measured at L= 00.0mVAC and R=00.0mVAC / -74dB) 
   

Great, later model, and BIG WATTAGE power amp by Kenwood. Model 'Basic M2A'. HUGE power output! Excellent for 2-channel (stereo) audio listening in a medium-large to larger stereo system, or for use in an A/V system. Lots of punch and headroom. Cosmetically it's in great condition with just a few light scratches on the upper corners of the face (see photos above).

Kenwood BASIC M2A Features:
   

- True DUAL power supplies (yes, TWO HUGE, copper shielded transformers inside)
-
*SIGMA-TYPE B DRIVE amplifier. (Hey, it's complicated but is what accounts for the specs listed below. Here's a link to a very 'read'ie and technical' pdf you can digest at your leisure: http://www.cieri.net/Documenti/Kenwood/Documenti%20tecnici/Kenwood%20-%20Sigma-Drive%20Technical%20Guide.pdf
- Old Skoool Class A/B amplifier design
- 2- Channel stereo operation

Rise Time: 100 Volts / 1.6μsec (and that's pretty darn quick) (based on previous model "M2")
Damping Factor: 1000 @ 50Hz / 8 ohms (I've never heard of a "damping factor" that high, but I double checked the specs listed in both the OM and SM. A damping factor that high and it's VERY high 'Slew Rate', and fast "Rise Time" makes for some seriously 'tight' bass!!!...still not quite believing it. I sold pro audio amps for years, and I don't remember any of them coming close to that)
Signal / Noise: 120dB A weighted (about as good as it can get!)
Rated RMS Output: 220 Watts per channel, min. RMS, @ 8Ω, both channels driven, from 20Hz to 20kHz.
Output at initial clip: 256 Watts per channel @ 8Ω or 385 Watts per channel @ 4Ω, both channels driven, from 20Hz to 20kHz.

Input Sensitivity: 1
V / 47KOhms
Potential Power Consumption: 500 Watts (not sure how it could be that efficient, but there it is, obviously not including the AC convenience outlets calculated into this figure)
 

Again, as stated before, our technician has completely refurb'd this Kenwood Basic M2A, stereo Power-Amp, cleaning and testing all and it gets our full '
Certification'. Great 'all around' power amp for about any audio system. We have sold MANY of this series of Kenwood power amps over the past 2+ decades, with never a complaint.
Again, other than
a few light scratches on the upper corners of the face, it's in great condition (see photos above).
If you're looking for about as much REAL power in a home audio amp that you can get, this is one of the top candidates.
Includes an 'e-copy' pdf download of the Kenwood Basic M2A owners / users / instruction manual. Unit looks, works and sounds great! Unit measures 17.25" wide x 14.75" deep x 7.25" high and weighs a heavy 34+ lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty.

 MADE IN U.S.A.

for sale

 Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit. Output transistor removed and tested independently. Both original pilot lamps in working cond. Fuses (mains and 'speaker protection') checked for correct values. All functions have been tested and pass with flying colors! Both inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent!
This is one of the most 'famous' power amplifiers ever designed and sold. Originally co-designed by David Hafler (always been a favorite amp engineer of mine).
    

On our test bench, this particular Dynaco Stereo-150, #...1155's amplifiers produced 27.5+ Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 94+ Watts / channel and 23.5+Volts at 6 Ohms per channel for 138 Watts / channel via discrete, metal cased, TO-3 output transistors. (Idle AC current draw @ 0.5A.
DC less <2mVDC / Ch (under 8 Ohm load).
Bias adjusted to 75mVDC.



Floor noise measured at L& R = > -60dBm

 Dynaco amps have always been known for understated appearance and performance. This was the replacement for the uber famous, "ST-120" power amp. A bit more 'conventional' in appearance and packaging, with an 'up' in power output. Excellent for 2-channel (stereo) audio listening or for use in an A/V system or for driving project studio monitors. From the original manual,
"The Stereo 150 has been designed as two independent 75 watts (at 8 ohms) amplifying channels with a common power supply having a high degree of inherent regulation. In addition, where higher powers or higher volt-amp capabilities are required for lower load impedances, easy internal re-strapping permits monophonic operation for 150 watts output (at 8 ohms)."
    
DYNACO STEREO-150 Features:
- 2-Channel stereo, Class A/B operation
- Discrete output transistors
- Huge, externally located, vertical heat sinks

- Standard RCA input jacks
- Oversize power supply transformer and capacitors
- 2-Way, Binding post / Banana speaker jacks
- Externally located Speaker / Output protection fuses
- Internally located AC / MAINS fuse

Again, our senior tech has completely gone thru this Dynaco Stereo-150 and it gets our full '
Certification'.  Cosmetically it has a few 'battle scars', but nothing too distracting (see photos above). Only 'performance' issue to be aware of is that Dynaco amps do not have 'relays' to block 'turn On / Off' thumps / sounds, so at turn-on you will hear a bit of 'electronic noise' as the circuits come to life, but nothing that is destructive. Unit looks, works and sounds great! Again, while not much on cosmetics or 'button features / whistles or bells' Dynaco amps are known for incredible punch, headroom, and musicality. Includes an 'e-copy' pdf download of the Dynaco Stereo 150 owners / users / instruction / assembly / service manual (which is actually an 'amazing read' and should probably be read by anyone using / owning ANY amplifier from ANY brand and ANY model! Just FYI).

"WORLD AC POWER"
MADE IN USA

for sale
We have complete gone through this unit and bench checked / tested it. Amp has been cleaned inside and out. All input level pots cleaned for static free performance. Internals inspected, transformer secondary's tested and our technician has completely Certified this amp. All functions have been tested and pass with flying colors!
Amp designed using Huge 'Torroidal' Power Supply Transformer. Super quality all around. From the original OM, "
The high quality parts complement include state-of-the-art solid state devices, 1% metal film resistors, computer grade electrolytic power supply capacitors, and a high capacity toroidal transformer". All 5 inputs and all 5 outputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! Following restoration procedures, we burned it in, in the shop at continuous high volume for 4 hours straight and it functioned flawlessly.
   

   On our test bench, each of this particular unit's (#...4826) FIVE (5) amplifiers produced 21.2 Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 56 Watts / channel and 17.7 Volts at 4 Ohms per channel for 78 Watts / channel (4 Ohm operation not recommended) via discrete output transistors (5x LM3886T. (Idle AC current draw @ .38A. DC offset / out <2mV each channel.
   

   Great condition, late model, 5-Channel power amp by B&K. Model B&K AV2500. VERY versatile unit. 5-inputs and 5 outputs, Stereo and Mono Line outputs, bridge-able and more. Excellent for feeding multiple rooms / speaker systems or for use in an A/V system. Lots of punch and headroom.
   Features:
   

   - 5- Channel operation
   - 5 Discrete inputs and 5 Discrete outputs
   - 'Bridge-able' into ONE big power amp
   - Built-in Protection circuit
   - LED Status indicators
   - RCA input jacks
   - Oversize torroidal power supply transformer
- Heavy duty binding posts (can use 'single' bananas, but not standard banana pair spacing)
- Gold Plated Connectors - Improve connections for better sound and minimized signal loss and degradation.
- 1% Metal Film Resistors - Low noise resistors for better sound and a greater degree of repeatability.
- High Current - Ability to reproduce demanding recordings.
- Computer Grade Capacitors - Large capacity computer grade electrolytic capacitors for extended low frequency control and improved dynamics.
- Protection from accidental shorting of output
devices and protection from thermal overload.

   - Externally located 'mains' fuse
- 5-24VDC Control input voltage and 12VDC control voltage output (comes with 'shorting' cable to enable amp function without any corresponding control voltage in.)

-
True "
WORLD AC POWER"™ allows unit to be operated on 50 or 60 Hz AC and will select voltages from 110v, 120v, 220v and 240 Volts AC input.

 

Also from the OM:  
"The most obvious function for the AV2500 series II is to take five separate
audio inputs and provide five separate amplified outputs. Your AV2500
series II has arrived set up in this configuration.

- With the inputs buffered, a line output (OUT BUS) may be taken from
either the L BUS, R BUS, or L+R BUS and sent on to another amplifier.
This allows for linking of multiple amplifiers.
- Continuing its versatility, the AV2500 series II may be used mono to
provide one, high current channel in order to drive a speaker requiring
more power.
- As a result of the AV2500 series II’s unique bus system, the input to
channels 4 and 5 may be inverted thereby allowing the possibility of
creating a single high voltage (bridged) channel from one source, through
the left bus."


Many more features, listed in the user manual, way too numerous to mention.

 Original B&K AV2500 Specifications
(2500II specs, but essentially the same amp):

Amp designed using Huge, Toroidal Power Supply Transformer, Dual power supply and super quality (expensive) filter caps. Huge, vertically finned heat sink for very efficient and silent, passive cooling of output devices (all amps / receivers should be designed this way). This amplifier is in both great electronic and physical shape. Looks LIKE NEW and sounds fantastic! All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! Following restoration procedures, we burned it in, in the shop at continuous high volume for 8 hours straight and it functioned flawlessly.
Technician's note:
"VERY good build quality"
   
On our test bench, this unit's (#...13427) amplifiers produced 30 Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 112 Watts / channel and 27 Volts at 4 Ohms per channel for 182 Watts / channel via discrete, Mosfet output transistors; 4x IRFP240 & 4x IRFP9240 (DC offset adjusted to 0mV (as in "ZERO" per channel!!!). Floor noise >-60dBm. Idle AC current draw @ .550A)

   

Great "general purpose" power amp for a variety of consumer and Pro-Audio applications. Super quiet operation and build quality. We run this amp in our main demo system and have for a few weeks now and Love it!!! Great for full range stereo speakers, Studio Monitors, home audio, practice PA etc.
For you 'tech-savvy' types, here's an excerpt from the original manual regarding amp design:
"Low number of gain stages improves signal reproduction accuracy"..."Custom toroidal power transformer provides better regulation and greater peak current capability"..."Large, internal heatsinks for greater cooling capability of output devices".
    
The final output stage uses multiple lateral, Precision Matched, MOSFET’s (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors): four devices per channel in the GFA-5300. These devices, unlike conventional bipolar transistors, have a negative temperature coefficient, which means that they do not exhibit “thermal runaway”. Thermal runaway is a phenomenon whereby a transistor heats up as it conducts more current, which causes it to get hotter, and conduct more current, and so on, until the device self-destructs. Since MOSFET’s are inherently self-protecting, no sonically degrading, complex circuitry is required to monitor and protect the output devices.

Furthermore, these lateral MOSFET’s exhibit a very linear input to output transfer function. Their connection in circuits and operating characteristics are very similar to vacuum tubes, which is perhaps responsible for their widely recognized sonic trait of being very “musical” and non-fatiguing.

 
ADCOM GFA-5300 FEATURES:
  





1)- Dual Power Supply
4)- Discrete, Precision Matched, MOSFET Output transistors
2)- 40,000
μF of power supply filter capacitance with low ESR
8)- Custom toroidal power transformer

- Two Channel, Class A-B architecture

3)- Very Large internal heatsinks to keep the outputs cool with matching bottom and top plate louvers to facilitate air flow
- Silicone output insulators instead of typical 'white paste'
1-8)- Super Quality internal construction methods
6)- Internally wired with heavy gauge wire
5)- All, proper, 'old-school' components inside. NO anemic, low current SMD parts!

- 'Soft Turn-On / Turn-Off' protection against "turn-on / turn-off" transients
-
LED distortion detection indicators (Distortion Alert circuit is a unique Adcom system which reads all forms of non-linear distortion such as excessive THD, IM, Slew-induced, 'clipping' etc. The LED's will react when any type reaches 1%)
- Thermal protection for amplifier w/ LED indicators
7)- Point to Point I/O jack wiring (not directly soldered to circuit boards avoids flexing solder joints)
7)- Gold Plated RCA input signal jacks
7)- Speaker outputs via 5-Way binding / banana posts

  
 Cosmetically it's in decent shape. There's a few tics / finish wear across the front edges, some scratches on the top and one side, but nothing distracting, especially when viewed from the front. Works and sounds great! We've actually been using this amp on our shop audio system following it's bench service for a couple months and it's performed flawlessly (in fact, once it sells, not sure what we're going to put in it's place that will test speakers so well).

MADE IN U.S.A.

for sale

 Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit. Output transistor removed and tested independently. Multiple Electrolytic Caps checked for ESR, capacitance and leakage and passed. New, 3-Prong / Grounded AC cord installed (had previously been re-located to rear of unit (instead of the front position by design). Unit bench checked / tested. All functions have been tested and pass with flying colors! Both inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! Total tech time invested ~7.5 hours.
This is one of the most 'famous' power amplifiers ever designed and sold. Originally co-designed by David Hafler (always been a favorite amp engineer of mine), they have been the 'heart' of many audio systems since the late '60's.
    

On our test bench, this particular Dynaco Stereo-120, #...7923's amplifiers produced 21 Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 55 Watts / channe via discrete, metal cased, TO-3 output transistors. While we did test this unit down to 4 Ohms, it is not particularly stable that low on a 'static load', but was fine at 6 Ohms. (Idle AC current draw @ 0.4A.
DC less <3.5mVDC / Ch (under 8 Ohm load).
Floor noise measured at L& R = ~2.0mVAC) 
    

 Dynaco amps have always been known for understated appearance and performance. While they were never much on looks or 'whistles and bells', they made up for that in performance. Excellent for 2-channel (stereo) audio listening or for use in an A/V system or for driving project studio monitors.
    
DYNACO STEREO-120 Features:

- 2-Channel stereo, Class A/B operation
- Standard RCA input jacks
- Oversize power supply transformer and capacitors
- 3-Way, Binding post speaker jacks
- AC / MAINS protection fuse

    
DYNACO STEREO-120 Original Specs:
Design type:
2 Channels, AB operation
Damping Factor @ 20Hz-20kHz / 8Ω: >40
Signal / Noise: >100dB @ 60 Watts
Input Sensitivity: 1.5V for 60 Watts output
Input Impedance: 100k Ohms
Channel Separation: >70dB @ 20Hz-20kHz

Again, our senior tech has completely gone thru this Dynaco Stereo-120 and it gets our full
'Certification'.  This power amp should be used with 6 Ohms or greater speaker load. While the Nickel / chrome plating does have a 'tarnished' look (that doesn't want to come off) it is in overall good shape with very little of the common, actual surface pitting / corrosion / rust. Perforated, top cover also rust and dent free. Unit looks, works and sounds great! Again, while not much on cosmetics or 'button features / whistles or bells' Dynaco amps are known for incredible punch, headroom, and musicality. Includes an 'e-copy' pdf download of the Dynaco Stereo 120 owners / users / instruction / assembly / service manual (which is actually an 'amazing read' and should probably be read by anyone using / owning ANY amplifier from ANY brand and ANY model!

Tech notes: "Good build quality...Lots of power supply filtering capacitance with 2x 6800uF / 80V and 2x 6800uF / 100V caps" 

Great "Subwoofer" power amp for a variety of consumer and Pro-Audio applications. Super quiet opera
tion and build quality. Real Class-A/B architecture and discrete output transistors.

If you’re thinking of adding subwoofer(s) to your audio system, a “SA Series” subwoofer amp by RBH, is not only one of the easiest ways, but also a great ROI from a performance standpoint. I am blown away by how well these work. I’ve tried them on numerous subs (including in my small-medium PA system). These amps have a lot of punch and guts! Very practical, versatile, and easy to control. Allows you to squeeze out every ounce of performance from your sub system. Numerous ways to connect, but feel free to call to find out if you can connect to your system, or what would be the best way to utilize it.

This is a great subwoofer amp. I tested it extensively. Didn't actually know you could get something like this that wasn't a 'plate amp'. Ac
tually thinking of keeping this one as an amp for my live music sub
.

- Phase infinitely variable from
0°-180° (one of the best features about the amp)
- 'Stand-by' power mode with 'auto-detect' for audio signals (means that the amp can be left powered on, but goes into 'sleep' mode. When an audio signal is detected, it automatically powers up. Very handy as you don't have to worry about your 'Turn-On / Turn-Off' sequence)

- Variable Input "Master Volume" Level control (front panel)
- Vertically mounted heat sinks
- Gold Plated RCA signal I/O's and Speaker posts
- Speaker inputs and outputs via, heavy-duty, 3-Way binding / banana posts

On our test bench, this unit's amplifiers produced 33 Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 136 Watts and 28 Volts at 4 Ohms  per channel for 196 Watts via discrete output transistors. (DC offset measured at outputs at 1.6mVDC. Floor noise measured at >-60dBm)
  
Tech notes: "Good build quality" 

Great "Subwoofer" power amp for a variety of consumer and Pro-Audio applications. Super quiet operation and build quality.
Real Class-A/B architecture and discrete output transistors.

If you’re thinking of adding subwoofer(s) to your audio system, a “SA Series” subwoofer amp by RBH, is not only one of the easiest ways, but also a great ROI from a performance standpoint. I am blown away by how well these work. I’ve tried them on numerous subs (including in my small-medium PA system). These amps have a lot of punch and guts! Very practical, versatile, and easy to control. Allows you to squeeze out every ounce of performance from your sub system. Numerous ways to connect, but feel free to call to find out if you can connect to your system, or what would be the best way to utilize it.

This is a great subwoofer amp. I tested it extensively. Didn't actually know you could get something like this that wasn't a 'plate amp'. Actually thinking of keeping this one as an amp for my live music sub.
 
RBH SA200 FEATURES:
  

- REAL CLASS A/B Amp design
- Discrete output transistors

- Variable crossover from 40-180Hz
- Line-Level or 'Speaker' level inputs
- Line level pass through at 'Full-Range' (same as what came in)
- Speaker Level pass through that has a built-in 'High-Pass' filter for everything above 100Hz!!!
- "Boost" increases volume at 25Hz by 4dB (be careful when selecting this as "4dB" is more than a doubling of power output at those freqs!)
- Phase selectable for either
0° or 180°
- 'Stand-by' power mode with 'auto-detect' for audio signals (means that the amp can be left powered on, but goes into 'sleep' mode. When an audio signal is detected, it automatically powers up. Very handy as you don't have to worry about your 'Turn-On / Turn-Off' sequence)

- Variable Input "Master Volume" Level control (front panel)
- Vertically mounted heat sinks
- Gold Plated RCA signal I/O's and Speaker posts
- Speaker inputs and outputs via, heavy-duty, 3-Way binding / banana posts
- Dimmer located on rear panel for somewhat over zealous 'front' LED's
- External Mains protection fuse
- True "WORLD AC POWER"™ allows unit to be operated on 50 or 60 Hz AC and will select voltages from 110v, 120v, 220v and 240 Volts AC input.

Did you know?
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) – THD is a measure of the how much a given audio device may distort a signal through the inevitable introduction of added harmonics or overtones. These figures are usually given as percentages. THD figures below approximately 1% are inaudible to most people (although market promotion efficiencies have 'brain-washed' much of the 'audio-public' into weighting low THD with almost 'holy grail' importance. I remember some manufacturers touting numbers as low as <0.003% in the early Eighties).  Low THD is not always an indication of a high quality amplifier. In fact, it is / was more commonly just the opposite. Some of the 'highest end' (read REALLY expensive) and certainly best sounding units will have distortions somewhere between .1% & 1%.
Low THD is only a simple 'bi-product' of 2 aspects. The first was an inordinate and increasing amount of 'global / negative feedback' built into amplifiers primarily to suppress distortion. This practice started to occur in the late 1970's and certainly was in 'full force' past the early 1980's for most 'main stream' consumer-grade audio amplifiers. Unfortunately this also 'suppressed' tone and 'punch' (musicality) but it made the numbers look good to the 'spoon fed' consumer (kind of like overly high speaker wattage numbers, and sorry if you're in that group and, most folks were so you're not alone). Secondly manufacturers were moving away from 'discrete-transistor' output designs to more 'monolithic' 'power-pack' output designs. While these designs reduced power supply requirements, thus reducing parts costs and weight (also translates to lower prices due to savings on freight from Asia) they generally sounded anywhere from somewhat 'anemic' compared with the designs from a few years previous, to completely 'gutless' and 'un-musical'. But, hey,… they had very low distortion figures….Can anyone say 'threw the baby out with the bath water'?

Great performing and 'classic' looking
Harman / Kardon / hk PM645 VXi-II Integrated Amplifier. Loaded with 'usable' features. Great unit to provide the heart of a medium to mid-large sized Hi-Fi system. Unit looks decent, works and sounds great! Designed around 'HCC' (High-instantaneous Current Capability) architecture. From the owners manual; "Studies have shown that while reproducing dynamic music signals the instantaneous impedances of nearly all loudspeakers drop to less than one third of the nominal ratings. These low, instantaneous mipedances typically require 3 to 6 times more current than an 8 Ohm, 'resistive' load. Reduced dynamic range and increased distortion will result if the amplifier cannot provide these higher currents. For this reason, the PM645 was designed to provide 30 Amperes of instantaneous current."

Harman / Kardon PM645 VXi Features include:
  

- Discrete Output, Class A-B Amplifier design 

-
* A/V for 'switching purposes' ONLY! No 'A/V' processing inside...thankfully! All Analog / 2-Channel.
Switches Video signals as well as the 'Audio' signals when using the 'Input' or 'Tape Monitor' selector.


- Speaker A, B, A+B, Off selector

- Separate Bass and Treble controls

- Dual tape deck monitors (Tape Monitors can be used with Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPad® / iPhone® / iTouch® / iGadget / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® CDR (CD recorders as well as for inserting signal processors, such as EQ's, Reverbs, Spatial Enhancers / Dynamic Processors, Noise Reduction units, Special Effects units, Time Delays, etc)

- Tape Dubbing Capability 1 > 2

- CD input (may also be used for Video / CD / DVD / LD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPhone® / iPod® / iTouch® / iGadget / eReader / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS®, audio mixers, computer sound-cards etc.)

- Phono / Turntable input with selector for MM (Moving Magnet cartridge) or MC (Moving Coil Cartridge) (Built-In MC "head amp". this feature alone could be worth hundreds of $$ if you are going to utilize a Moving Coil cart).

- "External Processor" is another 'loop' downstream from the 'Tape Monitor', but ahead of the Volume control used
for inserting signal processors, such as EQ's, Reverbs, Spatial Enhancers / Dynamic Processors, Noise Reduction units, Special Effects units, Time Delays, etc)

- Tuner input
(may also be used for Video / CD / DVD / LD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPhone® / iPod® / iTouch® / iGadget / eReader / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS®, audio mixers, computer sound-cards etc.)

 ____________________________
 
This Fisher CA-283, Integrated Amplifier, like all of it's siblings we've done, seemed like a 'sleeper' when we originally acquired it. Then we did our preliminary tests and quickly changed our opinion.
Once our tech got finished with it, we were thoroughly surprised and impressed. It has a lot of punch and headroom (check our bench test results above against it's original specs) and is VERY MUSICAL sounding.
While it's got a few 'battle scars' (see photos above), they of course don't affect it's spectacular performance.

Again, as stated before, our technician has completely refurb'd this Yamaha C-50 , stereo Pre-Amp, cleaning and testing all and it gets our full 'Certification'. This Yamaha C-50  is a very high quality control / pre-amplifier for most any system especially those requiring EQ / Tone Control section. Yamaha has always been known for building pre-amps that can hold their own with units 3-5 times the cost. Will work with most any power amplifier, tube or solid state. Cosmetically the top bonnet / sheet metal has numerous scratches from someone stacking a unit with no feet installed. Not seen when unit is in a rack, but they're there. Also, there's a few minor tics on the upper, right edge of the face plate (see photos above).
After bench work the unit performs and sounds great! Comes with a pdf / 'e' copy of the Yamaha C-50 owners / users manual and a copy of the service manual if the purchaser desires.

ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.

ü  Unit bench checked / tested.

ü  Amp has been cleaned inside and out.

ü  Face removed, meter illumination lens removed, cleaned and reattached.

ü  All new panel illumination lamps replaced with new.

ü  Bias adjusted to proper 13mVDC per SM.

ü  DC Offset able to be adjusted all the way down to 0 (ZERO) VDC!

Amp designed using Huge Power Supply Transformers and oversized, vertical finned heat sink for very efficient and quiet, fan induction cooling of output devices. All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! Following restoration procedures, we burned it in, in the shop at continuous volume for 48 hours straight and it functioned flawlessly.

While this amp is originally rated at 200 WPC, 20-20kHz with both channels driven, on our test bench, this particular unit's (#...0112) amplifiers individually, @ 1kHz produced 45 Volts at 8 Ohms per channel for 253 Watts / channel and 40 Volts at 4 Ohms per channel for 400 Watts / channel via output devices (2x Sanken DAT1018P & 2x
DAT1521P). (Idle AC current draw @ .75A.
Floor noise measured at L= 00.0mVAC and R=00.0mVAC / -60dBm) 
   

Great, later model, and BIG WATTAGE power amp by Kenwood. Model 'Basic M2'. HUGE power output! Excellent for 2-channel (stereo) audio listening in a medium-large to larger stereo system, or for use in an A/V system. Lots of punch and headroom.

Slew Rate: 100 Volts / μsec (that's pretty darn fast)
Rise Time: 100 Volts / μsec (and that's pretty darn quick)
Damping Factor: >1000 @ 50Hz / 8 ohms (I've never heard of a "damping factor" that high, but I double checked the specs listed in both the OM and SM. A damping factor that high and it's VERY high 'Slew Rate', and fast "Rise Time" makes for some seriously 'tight' bass!!!...still not quite believing it. I sold pro audio amps for years, and I don't remember any of them coming close to that)
Signal / Noise: 120dB A weighted (about as good as it can get!)
Rated RMS Output: 200 Watts per channel, min. RMS, @ 8Ω, both channels driven, from 20Hz to 20kHz.
Music Power 250 Watts + 250 Watts
Output at initial clip: 242 Watts per channel @ 8Ω or 324 Watts per channel @ 4Ω, both channels driven, from 20Hz to 20kHz.
Dynamic (Music) Power; 325 Watts + 325 Watts
@ 8Ω
*484 Watts + 484 Watts @ 4Ω
THD:
0.004% at 'Full Rated Output'  / 8Ω w/ 20-20kHz
0.004% @ half rated power / 8Ω w/ 20-20kHz
0.001% @ half rated power / 8Ω w/ 1kHz
IMD: 0.004% @ rated power / 8Ω
Potential Frequency Response:
1Hz (essentially "DC")-200kHz +0dB / -3dB
Input Sensitivity: 1
V / 47KOhms
Potential Power Consumption: 1350 Watts (that's more than your blow dryer or your bathroom heater!!!)
 

Again, as stated before, our technician has completely refurb'd this Kenwood Basic M2, stereo Power-Amp, cleaning and testing all and it gets our full '
Certification'. Cosmetically there's just a few minor scuffs / tics on the front panel, and a narrow scuff on the meter window (see photos above). Great 'all around' power amp for about any audio system. We have sold MANY of this series of Kenwood power amps over the past 2+ decades, with never a complaint.
If you're looking for about as much REAL power in a home audio amp that you can get, this is one of the top candidates.
Includes an 'e-copy' pdf download of the Kenwood Basic M2 owners / users / instruction manual. Unit looks, works and sounds great! Unit measures 17.25" wide x 14.75" deep x 7.25" high and weighs a heavy 34+ lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited warranty.

10+ hours. You will not be disappointed.
  
Very sought after for 'Spec Racks', the classic Pioneer Spec-1 pre-amplifier. Spec-1 preamps are the heart and 1st main building block for any, proper, Pioneer SPEC rack. Made to mate up with Pioneer's Spec-2 or Spec-4 power amps (or both as it has dual outputs). Cosmetically it's in BEAUTIFUL condition with nothing really worth mentioning.

All internal wiring very neatly routed and loomed.
All internal potentiometers and 'Step attenuators' ALPS brand. All circuit boards very clean with no corrosion or evidence of bad or amateur re-soldering. All internal metal clean with no corrosion. Looks virtually NEW inside! From the tech notes; "VERY clean inside. Probably spent most of it's life in the western US away from humid environments".    
From the original brochure; "EQ and Control Amplifier both designed with 3-stage, direct-coupled, Class-A 'SEPP' with 1st stage differential amplifier".
Does not appear to have every been rack mounted so no 'rack rash' around the mounting holes of the face plate.

With the exception of a small area on the rack handles, none of what's becoming very common 'Pioneer Green' corrosion. 

 

Pioneer SPEC-1 Pre-Amp Features and 'Creature Comforts' include:

 
- All internal potentiometers and 'Step attenuators' ALPS brand
- Speaker Selector (we know, preamps are not supposed to have speaker selectors on them, but we'll explain how that works below)
- Subsonic filter built-in for cutting turntable rumble
selectable CUT-OFF at 15Hz, 30 Hz or Off
- High filter for reducing tape hiss, tuner broadcast hiss, hiss from poorly recorded YouTube / TV videos or any 'electronic hiss) selectable 8kHz, 12kHz or Off

- Huge fixed Resistor, De-tented volume control (no typical "dirty volume pot" to ever have to worry about).
-
Tone Bypass switch for purest audio signal path if so desired
- 4-band Eq / Tone control using fixed resistor pre-sets. (No potentiometer tracks to get dirty and wear out) 
Bass centered @ 50Hz,
Mid Bass centered @ 100Hz, 
Mid-highs centered @ 10kHz, 
 and Highs centered @ 20Khz.

 - Pre-amp section 'Stereo / Mono' / Reverse / L/ R / L+R Stereo selector
- Dual tape deck monitors (Tape Monitors can be used with Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPad® / iPhone® / iTouch® / iGadget / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® CDR (CD recorders as well as for inserting signal processors, such as EQ's, Reverbs, Spatial Enhancers / Dynamic Processors, Noise Reduction units, Special Effects units, Time Delays, etc)
- Tape Duplication / Dubbing capabilities
- Dual Phono / Turntable inputs w/ 'Built-in' phono pre-amps and
with Phono "2" having an infinitely variable attenuator selectable from 0 to -12dB level
- Tuner input (may also be used for Video / CD / DVD / LD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPad® / iPhone® / iPod® / iTouch® / iGadget / eReader / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS® etc.)
- DUAL AUXs input (may also be used for Video / CD / DVD / LD / VCR / DAT / MP3 / iPod® / iPhone® / iPod® / iTouch® / iGadget / eReader / MP3 / XM® / SIRUS®, audio mixers, computer sound-cards etc.)

- Stereo Mode selector for Normal, Reverse & Mono
- Instant volume Attenuator (Muting) selectable for 0, -15 or -30 dB (especially useful for 'fine tuning' the graduations in Volume Level as this unit is designed with a '3dB/Step' volume attenuator instead of a standard 'carbon trace pot').
- Front mounted 1/4" stereo headphone jack (only energized if speaker outputs from a power amp are connected)
- Rack Mount front plate with handles (designed for standard 19"  EIA racks).
- Rear panel features full RCA patch bay for all inputs (each 'fastened separately' to the rear panel, and 'point to point' wired internally, instead of being soldered directly to the circuit board, which is always a 'failure point').
- Dual ground lugs
- Power amp speaker connectors for A & B speaker selector and headphone use
- 5 AC convenience outlets; 3x Switched and 2x un-switched AC outlets for a maximum load of 1450 Watts of external gear.

From the original Pioneer SA-6500-II Brochure;
"Bass Frequencies Sweet and Clean. The many refinements in the SA-6500-II include a constant-current load construction in the 'pre-driver' stage of the power amplifier. This helps eliminate a time constant at low frequency so that sound quality remains un-muddied and sweet over the whole audible spectrum....Further the power output is enhanced with a power supply using a larger transformer and a pair of 6,800uF, Electrolytic Capacitors for excellent Voltage Regulation so that low-range dynamics never suffer power drain" (means tighter, deeper and 'thumpier' bass!)

Again, we have completely gone through the unit cleaning all contacts, pots, switches and controls as mentioned above. All functions test as original. Simple to use. Unit performs and sounds great! 
Other than a few typical, light scuffs / striations on the sheet metal bonnet, nothing really worth mentioning cosmetically. Unit looks great!
Comes with an 'e-copy', PDF download of the Pioneer SA-6500-II owners / users / instruction manual, brochure and the service manual if the purchaser desires.
Measures 15" wide x 12.25" deep x 5.5" tall and weighs 17 lbs unpacked. Comes with original owners manual and includes our 30 day limited  warranty.

 #...0222
Circa 1978-79
MADE IN JAPAN
(Not Taiwan or Korea like a lot of 'vintage' Realistic gear)

SOLD 1/6/2022
SHIPPED TO SEAN IN GEORGIA

 
ü  Our technician has completely gone through and 'Certified' this unit.

ü Following ext / int visual inspection entire unit was cleaned inside and out

ü All three 'control' PCB's removed to allow cleaning of ALL contacts, switches and control pots.



ü Bias adjusted to correct spec (SM calls for 5-14mVDC. Adjusted to 10mV).

ü DC Offset adjusted within spec @ 55mVDC L & R.

ü Switches and controls now clean sounding and performing solidly (switches require 'access ports' drilled to clean)

ü Split bisecting the speaker outputs', phenolic resin board, addressed with an epoxied ABS sheet.

ü All functions tested for perfect operation.

ü All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves!

ü No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent!

ü Following electronic refurb, entire unit was cosmetically detailed (It's BEAUTIFUL!!!)

This is first and only one Realistic SA-2001 we've had in 23 years. Very elegant, brushed aluminum face plate with the original aluminum knobs.  Following 8+ hours of restoration procedures, the unit was ran continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a 4 Ohm load with "Loudness" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 48 hours.
Total technician time to restore 8 hours. (Tech noted on work sheet, "VERY nice build quality inside and out. Mint condition")


     
On our test bench the internal amplifiers of this particular unit, #...0222, produced 22 Volts per channel at 8 ohms for 60 Watts per channel and 20 Volts at 4 ohms for 100 Watts per channel via discrete, TO-3 / Metal Cased outputs (Sanken 2SC1116) (test at 1kHz, single channel at a time).
Idle current draw 0.3A.
Very quiet with Floor noise measured @ >74dBm.
    
____________________________

 
According to an original catalog,
"Our finest amplifier ever! For those who demand maximum control over their system, it has tuner, aux and two phono inputs, plus dubbing and monitoring facilities for two tape decks. In addition, you get the loudness compensation system so highly acclaimed by a major audio magazine! Exclusive Perfect Level" makes our Perfect Loudness system adjustable to any listening level so that the "boominess" so often heard with ordinary loudness systems is eliminated"
It actually was their 'top of the line' integrated amp ever. After 1979, they did no more integrated amps above a few Watts known as their "Mini" systems.

This was the 'TOPL' Integrated amp Realistic ever did (and the last of their 'real' component amps. After that they went to their 'micro/ mini' series with just a few Watts). VERY elegant looking unit, with a classy, brushed aluminum face, and a 'REAL' wood veneer bonnet.
This is the first one we've had in 24+ years of having the website.

Just the right features & sonically magnificent! Great amp for home or project recording studio use.

Again, as stated before, our technician has completely refurb'd this Realistic SA-2001 Integrated Stereo Amplifier, cleaning and testing all and it gets our full
'Certification'. Entire unit, including the original brushed aluminum, Face and knobs are in beautiful condition.
Cosmetically, with the exception of some minor 'tics' on the face, and along the top 'side edge' of the wood case and a few, old scratches from other gear sitting on top in the past (only really noticeable when looking 'down from above' the unit. Lemon oil pretty much hides them from being distracting) the tuner looks great (see photos above). Unit looks beautiful and sounds great with what the restoration tech called "Gutsy" power & punch!
(Authors / Owner of OTV note; This is one of the best looking integrated amps {and tuners} we've come across in over 4 decades of dealing in audio gear. If it were mine and not a consignment pair, I wouldn't be selling it!)

This is a very 'musical' sounding integrated amplifier. Very 'punchy' with great detail across the audio spectrum. You can really appreciate the 'discrete' outputs over more modern amplifier architecture with 'chip / STK / Darlington' type outputs, or as my tech wrote on the service work sheets,
"Clean, symmetrical Sine waves. Well balanced output signals left and right...Great Old School sound...Old School Serviceability".
Again as stated earlier, the Amp has had our standard FULL SERVICE inside and out including cleaning all control pots and contacts, replacing any necessary parts, and completely tested. All functions have been tested and passed with flying colors! Face and knobs are in excellent condition with only a few, very minor striations. Real, Walnut wood veneer cabinet also in fabulous shape. Unit looks and sounds great! Includes pdf download of Marantz 1060 owners / users / instruction manual (as the OM for the 1090 seems to be 'un-obtainium').

____________________________

We've had three of these, and got over 'being surprised' by their performance. This Fisher CA-271, Integrated Amplifier was a 'sleeper' when we originally acquired it. We thought they were too 'recent' to bother with, but then we did our preliminary tests and quickly changed our opinion. Once our tech got finished with it, we were thoroughly surprised and impressed. They always have a lot of punch and headroom (check our bench test results above against it's original specs) and are VERY MUSICAL sounding. Large internal power supply, relative to most amps in it's range. Unit looks good with minor, typical wear, mostly to edges. Nothing distracting.

Great, late 1980's model power amp by Yamaha. The Model M-45. BIG power output! Excellent for 2-channel (stereo) audio listening or for use in an A/V system to power additional Front or Rear channel speakers. Enough power to also work as a project recording studio / band practice power amp as they are more stable at lower impedances than most (if used professionally, would be advisable to use a cooling fan). Lots of punch and headroom. I was a Yamaha dealer when this model was current and made lots of very happy Yamaha power amp owners with this model and it's flanking siblings.

Yamaha M-45 Features:
 
  
- Class "A/B" or " Auto-Class A" selectable modes 
 
- 2- Channel stereo operation
- A / B speaker selector via high current relay
- Dual, Vertical, 10-Segment LED Power Output Meters
- Built-in Protection circuits
- 24 Karat Gold plated input jacks to remain corrosion free, thus insuring the best audio signal transfer.
- Oversize power supply transformer with dual 22,000 uf / 69-Volt filter caps built by Nichicon exclusively for Yamaha, and heavy duty bridge rectifier with oversize heat sink
- Dual, vertically finned, unfinished aluminum, internal heat sinks for very efficient heat transfer / evacuation and completely vented from bottom thru top for maximum cooling (all electronics manufacturers should do this as well)
- True "
WORLD AC POWER"™ allows unit to be operated on 50 or 60 Hz AC and will select voltages from 110v, 120v, 220v and 240 Volts AC input.

____________________________


This Fisher CA-276, Integrated Amplifier was a 'sleeper' when we originally acquired it. We thought it would be too 'recent' to bother with, but then we did our preliminary tests and quickly changed our opinion. It's got a massive power supply transformer, with 'forced air / Wind-Tunnel' cooling via temp controlled electric fan. 

Once our tech got finished with it, we were thoroughly surprised and impressed. It has a lot of punch and headroom (check our bench test results above against it's original specs) and is VERY MUSICAL sounding. Monstrous internal power supply, relative to most amps in it's range. Not that I place a lot of stock in specs, take a look at them. They're all around impressive. This was a 'Military / PX' / 'Euro / Asia' market unit and was not readily available in North America. While it's got a few 'battle scars' (see photos above), they of course don't affect it's spectacular performance.

 
____________________________
