Today I received the newest addition to my growing stack of HK silver-face gear - a $10 HK750 integrated amplifier. Typical HK diseases - scratches on the face and intermittent/weak channels due to dirty switches. An hour and a half of cleaning later and she's good to go on all cylinders. Bias and offset were very good right out of the box.
This is the smallest HK amp I've ever seen - 15 inches wide by 3 inches tall, especially given its 70 wpc. There's a lot of power packed into this small package, starting with its toroidal amp and two giant aluminum heat sinks. By necessity every else is crammed pretty tightly in up front, making pot and switch cleaning a very close quarters affair.
The last picture shows it along with my other recent acquisition, a B&O Beogram 1700 turntable with the MMC20EN cartridge. As you can see the TT kinda dwarfs this compact amp. It's getting the full listen treatment starting this afternoon, and so far sounds very powerful and clean driving two sets of speakers. I'd have loved to have this thing back in my college dorm room in the day - slight but deadly.
