Sony TA-4650 V-fet restauration pics

Here some pics of my restored 4650 amp.
This one is sold already, it worked and sounded just fine, the buyer was very happy.
I've have one running now with all new transistors, except preamp section, as the replacement list I posted, with good results.
V-fet amps do rock, and they deserve it to be restored.

Believe it or not the polar opposite is a great combo, as well.

For the past 2 weeks I've been enjoying my newly acquired 4650 with Minimus 7s. Which I just pulled out of the closet for testing purposes, but I was so AMAZED at how good the combo sounded, I've just them hooked up. And have been marveling at the vfet goodness/uniqueness. Listening to Chicago as I type. Horns sound very, very good through this amp! :music:

I believe you, it is a very musical amplifier that sounds good on wide variety of speakers.
The NS-1000 sounds best with a warm sounding amp, that's why the 4650, 5650, 8650 are a good match.
