Sony TA-1630 22 WPC Integrated Stereo Amplifier – Classic 1970s Style with original Walnut finish side Panels, Level One Service

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.

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.

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.
