This unit has received our Level One service and thorough testing, ensuring many more years of reliable performance for your music enjoyment.
The TA-1630 delivers a musical 22 watts per channel into 8 ohms, more than enough to drive most bookshelf or floorstanding speakers with satisfying dynamics and detail. Renowned for its clear, non-fatiguing sound and beautiful stereo imaging, the TA-1630 makes both analog and digital sources come alive with warmth and precision. Its punchy amplifier section features discrete output transistors and rugged construction throughout, while well-laid-out control ergonomics and smooth-travel knobs showcase classic Sony design.
With inputs for phono (moving magnet), three line-level sources (tuner, aux, tape), and A/B speaker switching, the TA-1630 is equally at home as the centerpiece of a vintage hi-fi setup or as a distinctive addition to a modern room. Headphone lovers will appreciate its quiet, detailed output, and the power meter LEDs add a touch of flair to your listening sessions.

Technics SU-V76 New Class A Integrated Amp 100 WPC — Japan
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.
Monster Technics SU-G90 130 WPC Integrated Amp – Made in Japan
130 watts a channel into 8 ohms with both channels driven at 0.05% distortion, six analog inputs and an MM phono stage. This 1991 design also carries a Dolby Pro Logic decoder with its own 15-watt rear amplifier section, so it can run a compact surround setup on its own. Made in Japan; good cosmetic condition.

Moving-magnet phono at 2.5mV, line inputs for tuner, CD and aux, and a tape monitor loop for an outboard EQ. Built in Japan between 1985 and 1986. Condition very good; inspected and tested.
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.
