Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
What got me interested in many of the amps mentioned above, was GAS (Great American Sound) of the mid to late seventies. It was their Ampzilla that moved me from Sansui over to the higher end, where I would later discover Threshold and Mark Levinson. I could not afford either of these brands and wound up with that Carver cube. I paired that with a Counterpoint preamp (SA-?) and SOTA distributed Audioplan Kontrapunkt mini monitors. That really put me on the merry-go-round. Kenny |
I personally preferred the sound of a Nakamichi PA5 power amp over the Adcom 555 or even the Adcom 565, jmo. Nak PA5, (Threshold , Nelson Pass design) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UMTedZvEopE/TXVSaj6vjYI/AAAAAAAADGc/UvMt8hkvZ-A/s1600/top%2Bcover%2Boff.jp... (Photo from Net) Nakamichi cassette decks were considered top tier back in the late 1970s and 1980s. |
