Nikko NR-1219

Hey guys I have a chance to get one of these for a real good price and want to know if anyone here has any experience with this unit. I've heard these babys really rattle the windows. It's really in nice condition and want to know pro's con's etc? Any help would be great.

I personally like Nikko receivers. Been using one for a long time. Never any issues. They do tend to fly under the radar a lot.

If the price is right for you, go for it. Throughout my life I had lots of Nikko gear and always had a very positive experience with it. You may need to check a few things (e.g., DC offset values) , like on any vintage gear. The service manual can be freely downloaded from: http://www.hifi-manuals.com/Download/Nikko-Audio/NR-1219-service-manual .

PS: some pics and data are available here: http://www.vintageaudioonline.com/nikko-nr-1219-receiver/ . It is rated at 110 WPC !

Get it. Nikko is nice stuff.

I've got some Nikko stuff such as a power and preamp, the Alpha 230 and Gamma 30 models. I bought em new about 30 years ago, never had a problem with em and they sound great. I've really pushed that amp the odd time and it's never complained one bit.

I had a 1219. It sounded nice and seemed well built. The only reason I passed it on was because I thought the NR-1015 (previous series) was a better match with my Advents.

Was going to match it up with the pioneer PL-530 I'm going to get Saturday and run it through the EPI T/E 250 series 2 I have. Should be a cool setup I think. Thanks all:thmbsp:
