You do. That’s a really rare and superb component you found with that Fisher.Ok, that’s what I needed! Knocked off my high horse now thinking I had something special.

Thanks, I’m overly obsessed with it and need to humble myself. It’s my newest piece and should fade eventually.You do. That’s a really rare and superb component you found with that Fisher.
Have you popped the lid yet to see the inner workings?Thanks, I’m overly obsessed with it and need to humble myself. It’s my newest piece and should fade eventually.
No I was truly tempted to, but I shown a flashlight inside to look for critters or dust and it was like new. I have seen internal pics online and they are impressive.Have you popped the lid yet to see the inner workings?

SWEEEET!!! Now that ROCKS!!! I had a few Nakamichi pieces in the past but nothing like that. That’s Awesome!Nakamichi PA-7A II
Rated 225wpc in to 8 ohms.
"Back in 1989, when Stereo Review featured the PA-7, writer Julian Hirsch measured the PA-7’s output at 253 watts into an 8-ohm load, 400 watts into a 4-ohm load, and 650 watts into two ohms."

I wish youtube would up their bitrate from present 192 AAC to FLAC lossless. It sounds great now, but with so many new artist debuting on YouTube sound quality should be top priority. Bandwidth shouldn’t be an issue in 2018.

I was Googling “class A receiver” and a link to eBay came up and it was listed as “fisher class A1 receiver 400 watts”. I said “Holy Hell !!”, well not really “Hell”. No watchers or bidders. Local pickup . I waited till last minute and bid and Won!!! I was the only bidder. Talk about lucky day!! Drove 150 miles to Ohio to pick it up. The gentleman was not an audiophile and was just unloading stuff he had in temperature controlled storage for over 10 years. I couldn’t sleep the night before the auction was over. I was constantly checking for bidders or watchers. In Heaven now. I think I have listened to it non-stop since buying it a few weeks ago. From what I have been researching, this may be 1 of only 3 working models in the United States.
They have to Rock!!! Power consumption is 1190 watts at full power!!!

I keep coming back to this picture of your amp. Mesmerizing & Beautiful solid copper and wood construction. I would be half tempted to construct a glass top just to show off inner workings.

Can't really see much on this one but all of the chassis stuff is copper coated and it's got little copper covers on the outputs transistors.Holy $#!¥!!!!Nakamichi PA-7A II
