For a stop-gap measure, you could pick up a new Emotiva A-100 for $230. This amp will out-perform the vintage amps you are looking at and will come with a three year warranty. You may well decide to give up your search for a restored vintage amp, but at least it will buy you time while you are searching for a reasonable deal or messing around with finding parts, new caps and pots, and cleaning and refurbishing an old unit.
I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated
Hi, as a stop gap solution, as well as for enjoyment, I wanna pick up a 70's vintage integrated amp. I have been looking at the Kenwood KA 5700 as well as the KA 405. Aside from the specs, which one was the higher end model, do you guys know?
My budget is around $500, and I like VU meters. Around this range, what else could I be looking at?

+ mental As someone said Sansui did use glue on the boards but I think he has over stated the issues. Sansui integrated's are going up fast in the vintage market for a reason if you can get one like the 717 i'd jump on it they are only going up in price. Also Luxman, Accuphase older stuff are some of the best made form that era worth looking as well. but may be to late to get for under $500. |
LOL, I wonder if this will sell? https://www.ebay.com/itm/pioneer-sx-1250-BOX-ONLY-When-Will-You-See-Another-Like-This-/264083063099 |
