Technics SU-V76 New Class A Integrated Amp 100 WPC — Japan
$245.00
A 1987 New Class A integrated: pure Class A at low levels, sliding to Class A/B when the music asks for it, 100 watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.05% distortion. It draws about 30 watts at idle, which is how you know the Class A bias is real rather than a label. MM phono and A/B speaker switching. Level 1 serviced; good cosmetic condition.

Technics SU-V76 New Class A Integrated Amp 100 WPC — Made in Japan
Made in Japan, the Technics SU-V76 is a 1987-era “New Class A” integrated amplifier that has earned a reputation as a genuine sleeper among budget audiophiles — delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with Technics’ proprietary Class A biasing topology, which operates in pure Class A at lower power levels before seamlessly transitioning to Class A/B at higher output. The result is the warmth and musicality of Class A listening at everyday volumes, with the headroom and authority of a full 200-watt system when the music demands it.
The SU-V76’s power supply and output stage are built to punch above its price class. Large, heavily finned heat sinks handle thermal management passively — no fan noise to intrude on your listening — and the amplifier runs warm by design, a hallmark of its Class A bias current. At idle, the unit draws approximately 30 watts from the wall, confirming that meaningful Class A bias is present and working, not just a marketing label.
Inputs are comprehensive for a late-80s integrated: a moving magnet phono stage for turntable connection, plus tuner, auxiliary, and two tape loop inputs cover all analogue-era sources. Bass, treble, and balance controls are provided, along with speaker A/B switching for running two pairs of speakers. A full-sized headphone jack on the front panel rounds out the feature set.
This unit has undergone our Level One service and testing which should ensure many more years of reliable performance ahead. It is in good cosmetic condition with the classic Technics dark brown finish of the era.

130 watts a channel into 8 ohms with both channels driven at 0.05% distortion, six analog inputs and an MM phono stage.

LXI AM4002 Integrated Amplifier 80 WPC (est), Dual Phono
Sold through Sears in the late seventies and heavier than that suggests — 22.9 lb, a 450 VA power rating, and metal knobs on everything. Two separate phono inputs, tape monitor and dubbing, subsonic and high filters, A/B speakers, and a front-panel mic mixing input. No factory manual survives, so the 80 WPC is our own conservative estimate. Level 1 serviced here; good cosmetic condition.

Braun Atelier A1 Slim Integrated Amp — 55 WPC, Pre-Out, Japan
The component that makes the rest of an Atelier system work, and the one people hunting these usually look for first. 55 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 80 into 4, with a preamplifier section that separates from the power stage — engineering that is not an afterthought to the industrial design. 445 mm wide and 70 mm tall, the exact footprint of the T1 tuner and C1 deck, so the stack reads as one machined object. Made in Japan for Braun. Good condition.
