I actually just got my Technics going again today after a problem with the volume control stuck and then blowing speaker protection fuses, but all is well now.
Here it is back in its rightful place on my desk.

hi jimfet it was a good unit for sure, in fact i know of one FM station here that uses it as their off air monitor.
Ive allways liked Technics which seem to stand in the shadow of the others.
i owned a SE-9060 power amp that i used for my cornwall horns and tweeters.
dual mono design split back to the line cord. very well constructed and very flat.
standouts also were the honeycomb disk speakers, thier 10" studio reel to reels and possible the best turntable in broadcasting the SP 10mk2
Its a line that originally seemed like a boutique line of upper end components, but then along came those rack systems found in the mass retailers, i beleive it confused their direction or purpose of the line.

I have a Technics SA-912...I think it sounds fairly good...I'm guessing it's a BOTL though...I can't find any information on this model...does anyone know the WPC, THD or anything?

I'm waiting for this lovely gal to show up via carrier soon. A Technics SU-V7...... I'd been thinking my next amp would be a Kenwood, but couldn't resist the condition of this unit when I saw it, and it being a Technics, no one was running the bid up into the stratosphere.... I wound up paying a whopping $52 plus shipping on ebay. This will be my second Technics amp and I'm guessing it will be very similar to my SU-8088, but since its one of the 'New Class A' amps it might have a different sound. Any SU-Vx owners out there willing to share their opinions and data with me?
Was just doing some research on my system and found this post. I have an SU-V75 that I am the original owner of. 23 years later, it is still going strong. I've only ever replaced the power button on it. Anyone else have one of these?
Also have an SL-1700 and SL-BD25 turntables and an SL-PG350 CD player

Now in the 100wpc club!
I picked up this excellent condition receiver on Craigslist for 30 bones! Owner sold it cheap because it had bad static in the controls. I took it apart and cleaned all contacts and pots and changed some lamps, now its good as new! It's in better shape than my other Technics 5560 receiver. Plus it has 100 watts per channel which is noticeable compared to my 85wpc 5560.
It also has a THD% of .04, a pretty decent jump from the .1 of the midfi 5560.
I'm happy with every aspect of it including the ability to use it as a pre-amp, it has nice power, awesome looks and is in very good working condition.
Only down side is I have to get rid of my 5560. :tears:
I cant have extra gear lying around, just not enough space. But she sure did have a good run and it will be missed.
I'm still on the look out for an elusive SA-1000(330wpc monster), but will also change up if an SA-800(125wpc) comes my way.
I love these old Technics!

Technics... the science of sound 
SL-7 turntable - original owner
SA-222 receiver - picked up on the bay for $39 about 2 years ago
Both are still going strong and sounding great.
M-260 cassette deck - just won on the bay, waiting for it to land on my porch so I can enjoy some old favorite cassettes :yes:.

As stated earlier Panasonic really never took the time to make a real clear distinction between Technics and them selves, and from what I've seen I'd agree. Most of the gear released by Technics was fairly high class and in some cases it was up their with your lower mid-level Marantz and Sansui gear IMHO. Though it's a little difficult to say youre up their with the best of them when Panasonic would release a near identical model that "came up a little short" to put it charitably.

Before and after Science
Picked up an SA-7000 for 4 bucks todays at Value Village a little deoxit and it sounds quite nice it's a keeper. In fact it's displacing my Pioneer SA 9500 II integrated amp which is no slouch but IMO the Technics sounds a little better (more bass and detail) through AUX and perhaps a tad bright on phono but nothing tone controls won't clean up. 2 x 15,000 capacitors and 40 lbs Tuner sounds great, no complaints. Can't justify hanging onto the more expensive Pioneer SA-9500 II and Sansui TU 7500 when this sounds just as good.

I picked up an SA-616 on eBay a while back for eight bucks and some change with local pickup.
It just needed some deoxit cleaning and was a one owner never apart before.
I was surprised that these get so little respect,the 616 is 80wpc and sounds awesome,I was most impressed with it.
I tried to resell it on CL but couldn't generate any interest in it,finally I gave it and $40 for a set of speakers a guy was asking $100 for.
I wouldn't of hesitated to keep it if I needed a receiver,it really sounded very nice.
