Very nice. Are you in Europe? The TA-N86B is one of my favorite amps. Your N900 is next.
Thank you, I am from the US. I look forward to comparing these and the N86B side-by-side

Looking forward to your result.
Recorded a tape yesterday. Easy peasy. I heard complaints about the tape-to-tape switch but it doesn’t seem like a problem to me. Maybe just an unusual arrangement of these controls.

These look like new inside, amazing!
I have 5 but all of them need some level of service before I dare to use them again.
Still pretty too look at though!
Curious to hear your findings as well!
I really lucked out with them, especially given that they are US market versions. They look to have had very little use judging by the lack of discoloration on the circuit boards and dust in the chassis. I bought a third one a few months back to use for parts should I need any - the chassis was mangled before it shipped to me and even more so after USPS got their hands on it, so I won’t feel terrible if I need anything from it.
I’ve been poking around in search of more information on them as well as impressions from owners, and I remember seeing a few posts of yours from a while back. I’m glad to hear that you still have yours. When do you plan on servicing them?

Here's mine as this setup is complete, the only thing I would add if I could find it would be the SEQ 333ES EQ.

Very nice collection.
How is that N77 cooling?

It cools very well, only time I have that fan on is if I am going to crank it up a bit, the N77 has been serviced a vew months ago.

Hello, everyone! I want to try adding this awesome Sony TA-D88b crossover to my system. I managed to get my hands on some rare Sony SS-G7s speakers, which have a connection for an external crossover. If anyone has experience with this, what is your opinion on using amplifiers for different speakers? For those who are interested, I found some information about these speakers: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/sony-ss-g7s-speakers-very-rare.1096755/

The Sony SS-G7s look nice and I would love to find a pair like that. Why does the crossover panel look loose and like it doesn’t fit in the back? Is that original to this pair? I’ve seen pictures of SS-G7s with only two speaker terminals, not for external crossover units. It appears Sony offered at least 2 versions of the SS-G7s.

There were three modifications of the Sony SS-G7 in total. In addition to the original version, which was produced from 1976, there was also a modernized Sony SS-G7a, which featured changes to the low-frequency section and the addition of a second phase plug hole. When Sony made their Sony TA-D88 and Sony TA-D900 crossovers, they decided to add a module for connecting them to the Sony SS-G7. This is how the S version appeared, but it is very, very rare.
