Nikko made some solid gear, I run a Nikko alpha power amp and love it. I've compared it to similar power Phase linear and Rotel amps and the Nikko is what stayed in the system.

thats some early 80's gear you list there, should be pretty nice. that is a decent price for a whole stereo set up.

My Nikko beta-40 preamp edges out my Kenwood C-2 basic. Nikko makes some great quality stuff, Go for it!

Nice build quality, a bit dry and sterile for my tastes though!

Nikko made some very nice gear in the 70's and early 80's. To me, they are still one of the sleepers out there. The Gamma I tuner is still one of the best analog tuners around. Check www.fmtunerinfo.com The equipment you listed isn't their best gear but the build quality is nice and definitely worth the price if it is in nice working condition. I'm running a Nikko Apha II in my setup in the basement and it is a very nice amp. I've had it since new (1978) and it has been a real horse for 30 years.

I don't have Nikko seperates, but I do have a NR 1019 and currently looking for it's bigger brothers, the 1015 and 1219. Nikko has no problems running my 5 ohm Martin Logans.

The NA and NT are pretty nice. Not heavy duty like the Alpha/Beta/Gamma units, but dependable. Great price. 70 WPC and a decent tuner.

I bought a NT790 tuner from Salvation Army, It was an orphan, all by itself on the shelf, for a $10 donation. I use it daily and for an analog tuner it works great! You will have a great tuner if you decide to pick those up.

I have the Nikko NA 850 amp and NT 850 tuner in my main system. I bought mine from a co-worker in the mid '80s. They still sound great at 30 years of age. Well built equipment. You won't regret purchasing those at that price.

I bought a Nikko Alpha II power amp and Hafler 101 pre amp new in the late seventies. Can't remember why I picked these two, but they have been with me ever since, so I guess that says a lot!

Made in Japan, some can drive incredibly low impedances and remain stable.

I have a Alpha 230 and I believe it can run 2 ohm loads with ease

 

[Filmboydoug]

Big difference between an Alpha 230 and the NA integrated's.

Run, don't walk. I have 3 Nikkos and considering a 4th. Good, clean, well-engineered sound.
