Smallest integrated amplifier?

[luvvinvinyl]

At 7"x6"x4", you might want to check out the 30wpc hybrid, the Jolida JD 1301A. Tube front end, 2x12AX7, and SS power section. Clean lines, nice fit and finish, for a 'little' guy, but nothing little about the sound. Here is the page on Jolida's website.

There's this one.

Anyone thought to mention the Linn Classik???

Pretty small and includes a cd player.

CULater is correct, I have one of those EV-1144's that he mentioned. I also recently picked up a Technics 30wpc SU-30 or 50. I looked it up and it's 30wpc vs the EV's 12 or 18. Tiny little sucker.

Rex Everything obviously has the receiver version, cause if you cut his image in half, the left portion is exactly what the integrated looks like. 18wpc is what mine is I guess.

I set up a portable system using it with some Klipsch Industrial Heresy speakers. Very impressive!

That's what I call BACK SEAT DRIVERS!

Yup

This is just the integrated amp and the tuner bolted together(as seen in the pic) and a common face plate put on.

Very cool little set up.

As an owner of close to 50 Aiwa mini components, i assure you this is indeed the smallest integrated and tuner they make. Actually part of a portable system they marketed in 1979 that was in effect one of the highest quality boomboxes ever produced. All seperate components with a rechargeable battery pack in a carry caes. These particular components will operate from a 120vac or 12vdc source. They're the heart of my cabin system powered from a marine battery kept topped off by solar panels.

Is the Sonic T smaller than the Radio Shack 150, later called the 155?

Don't know, but I think so. The original Sonic T-Amp is about the size of a portable CD player. The picture in the car later in the thread is a good indication how small it is.

I think the best thing about the "original" Sonic T is the fact it can be run off batteries, I think. fellas? Can it?

Yes, as a matter of fact, the power supply is bought separately.

The worst thing about the Sonic T, to me? I really don't like the looks.

Worst thing for me is that it only takes 1/8" stereo for input, not even RCA's.

I have one of the EV 1144's and can attest to the fact that they have some guts for a little thing. Lafayette also made some small integrated amps that were quite ballsy. I had one that was a 20wpc unit that looked similar to the little Kenwood posted in this thread, only silver faced. I loved it.

 

[subdermis2000]

Aren't most of the lower end Sansui AU-series relatively small?

 

[nielsvanm2]

Kenwood KA-2002. Produced around '74 and making about 20 wpc. It's a bit bigger (12") than the competition but looks very good. The matching tuner looks sharp as well!

That Realistic SA-10 was my first amp. I guess I should track one down.

As an owner of close to 50 Aiwa mini components, i assure you this is indeed the smallest integrated and tuner they make...

Do you have measurements on this? I'd like to compare them to the Realistic 155.

Even if it's the same size, or a few 16ths bigger or smaller, I still think the Aiwa is the nicer of the two. More power, better interface, ect.:thmbsp:

Aren't most of the lower end Sansui AU-series relatively small?

The lower-watt Sansuis aren't the smallest of the amps listed here, but yes, relatively small. And very cool in their looks and diminutive size.:thmbsp:

 

[SOTA]

This is the smallest non portable amp I ever remember seeing, the Realistic SA-10. Although if you're expecting some power it's not it at all lol. 'Perfect stereo "starter" -- use it in den, office, children's systems.' I had to highlight that line. :

No matching tuner for that, but the SA-101 has a matching tuner TM-101 and a slightly larger footprint at 3.25x9.25x7 inches.

I have what would appear to be a later version of the SA-10 from 83. Just a thought...does the Sonic-T, however small qualify? This is after all the "vintage ss" forum. The RS SA-10 is crap but its vintage crap:scratch2: .

Sanyo DCA-1700 Integrated

This one is pretty small and has 4 channel surround too. I use it every day at the office and it sounds great.

My AR int is small.

compared to the rest of my int amps but it sounds really nice...

 

[Cloth Ears]

This is reasonably small.

 

[towa]

Not really vintage yet (it's only ten years old), but at least it's small

I have the engineering data sheet on the E-V 1144 that came with one of mine and it states that it is 25 watts per channel into 8 ohms and output increases into lower impedances. It's 3-3/8 high x 8-3/3 wide x 10-1/4 deep and my manual is dated 1965. I have 2 of these and they took no time to recap. They have very nice sound for their small size and also have a great sounding headphone output.:yes:

Well to stick up for the little Rat shack I mentioned in the second post in this thread. For it's size the SA-155 Has a Tuner and AUX and Phono inputs Does the T-Amp?
