Apologies for the late reply. You are correct that Sølsuper 10 is a hybrid, as it has tubes in the tuner section. The audio amplifier, however, is a pure solid state design. And it is cap coupled. The same applies to Huldra 8 and 9. Let me also add three more Tandberg models: TA300 and TA300M are solid state stereo integrated amps (TA300M has a microphone input) and Tandberg Tuner Amplifier Hi-Fi FM (yes, that’s actually its name). Solid state tuner and amplifier, and cap coupled.
Thanks for the suggestion. Both are already listed on the September 10, 2021 version of the list, posted above. This thread has various older versions of the list so you may have downloaded one of those.
If I find new models to add I'll update the list again.
Great catch, thank you, Marantz 2210 was an error. I've added the other two. The latest version now has 264 receivers and 120 integrated amplifiers (384 total components).

Thank you both for your additions to the list. I'll add them all except for a few already listed (Hitachi and HK), and the Perfex. Was Perfex a house brand? I can't seem to verify that one, and honestly had never heard of it until now.
I'm not sure if Perfex was a house brand, it's made by Roland. I have this receiver, I know it's capacitor coupled. The amplifier and preamplifier sections are very similar to what's in the Roland made HK 330.
Here's a Perfex pic.
Thank you for the Perfex information and picture. It's a nice looking unit. I found a picture of a schematic for the Perfex RTA-530 receiver which also appears to be cap coupled, so added both the RTA-530 and RTA-650 to the list.
The latest list includes 275 receivers and 121 integrated amplifiers. We will continue to update the list whenever new information is found.

The AR Amp and Receiver are interstage transformers, but direct coupled output. Looked up schematics and no coupling caps.
Now that I think about it, I remember considering the Acoustic Research integrated amp and receiver (nice components) when compiling the list and ruled them out. If memory serves me, I also believe that I found that the SCA-50 was direct coupled, can anyone confirm? Thank you.

Well, you got me on both counts. I found some bad info on the SCA-50 on line (surprise!) however this looks to be accurate:

I couldn't find the KLH 71 in any of the old Audio magazine annual guides, but did find this to verify it is 10 wpc. I'll add it to the next update of list. Thank you!
