    Pioneer Made My Realistic Tube Amp?

    When I first bought my Realistic SAF-40D integrated amp , I had thought maybe Trio-Kenwood had built my amp after looking through threads on here and other sites. Although Radio Shack kept their amp supplier a mystery, some compared the amp's topology to that of contemporary Kenwood amps. But...

    Kenwood KA-770D

    1988 Kenwood KA-770D. I've talked to the poster and she wants $30-40 for it. Assuming it's in working condition, is this a fair price? https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/d/minneapolis-vintage-1988-kenwood-ka/6925524028.html

    Kenwood KA-9100 90wpc to 140W max speakers ok?

    Hey AK’ers So I’m fairly new to the hobby and I’m uncertain as to whether it would be alright to plug my cheaply Kenwood JL-703 speakers to my KA-9100 integrated amp. I’ll eventually upgrade the speakers but for now I just want to make sure I won’t damage anything, the amp especially. The...

    Onkyo or Yamaha?

    Hi All, I’ve been rocking an Onkyo TX-SR313 (low-end from 2012) into EV FR12-2 loudspeakers for years. My girlfriend’s dad is offering his 1982 Yamaha A-760. The specs seem close enough that I don’t know if my discerning ears would hear the difference. I don’t have a lot of listening experience...

    NAD D 3045

    If you have any interest in this amp at all, let me assure you that it is the best sounding integrated I have ever heard! Holy smokes what a surprise! The biggest surprise is how dynamic it is and how much bass presence it has. This is not a thin/sterile sounding lame class D amp. It has a...

    Onkyo A-7 Extensive Restoration

    Integrated amp to power Allison 6s for small space

    Hello all, I'm looking to put together a system for my ( tiny - 8' x 8' ) bedroom. I'd love to build it up around a pair of Allison 6s - they're the perfect size, I really like the aesthetic & was bowled over by a friend's pair of 5s, so I'm pretty sure it's the sound I'm looking for. I've been...

    NAD 3150 versus Music Hall 15.3 (Integrated Amps)

    OK, guys I'm a bit perplexed here. I bought this 1982 model NAD last year from a nice local guy here on AK. Really great sound! Full-bodied and rich, especially now that I have upgraded a few other aspects of my system. I also bought an almost new Music Hall amp here for a good price. Clean...

Some used, some new to stay within budget. If anyone has experience with any of these paired with La Scala's...

    Help me choose: Yamaha CA-1010 vs Mitsubishi DA-U680

    Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster! I'm trying to decide between these two amps. The Mitsubishi / Diatone da-u680 I can get for about 75USD. The Yamaha ca-1010 I can get for about 330USD. I listen to a very wide range of music, but I guess sensibilities err on the side of classical...

    Looking for a great dual-voltage vintage (?) integrated amp <$500

    Hi, My Pioneer SX-828 needs repair, so I'm taking the opportunity to scout out a replacement vintage integrated amp. I didn't use the tuner and I like the clean aesthetics of integrated amps. I loved the sound of my Dual 1219 turntable with the 828, so I figured vintage was the way to go, but...

    Line Direct on Sansui Integrated amps?

    Hi again folks. I have discovered that I have been in error thinking that the "direct" inputs on Sansui Integrated amps (specifically the Alpha 907NRA but I suspect this will apply much more broadly) were meant to be used as a "power amp direct" input in that they bypass the pre section and...
