RA-Twin II, $39.00 →Well-regarded Power Amplifier from Nikko in good condition, with plenty of punch. Made in Japan.
Nikko is often overlooked by vintage audio collectors. Not because they didn’t make good equipment, but rather, it seems because of poor advertising when sold new. But the fact is, they made some very good quality products. Just ask anyone who has ever owned or heard one. Sound quality is exceptional, with great reliability & quality craftsmanship.
This Alpha 130 is from the early 80’s; it is a very powerful amp at a conservative 100 watts per channel @ 8 ohms. It has a heavy aluminum faceplate and heavy duty rack handles. If you like a natural, realistic sound, then you will love this amp. It reproduces the music just like it was originally recorded.

Nikko was a Japanese hi-fi maker whose components were sold from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, best known for its Alpha power amplifiers and Beta preamplifiers. The brand no longer exists. We carry Nikko power amplifiers, preamplifiers, stereo receivers, tuners and equalizers. We've had more than 35 Nikko listings so far. Every used Nikko here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program.

Our best-selling Nikko models so far: the Beta 30 preamplifier and the Alpha 230 power amplifier, followed by the NT-700 II tuner and the Alpha 130 power amplifier.
The Nikko story
One of Nikko's first hi-fi products was the TRM-50 integrated amplifier of September 1969, and its STA receivers and FAM tuners followed in the early 1970s.
The Professional Series. From 1977 Nikko sold Alpha power amplifiers and Beta preamplifiers, designed to be paired, alongside NR receivers, Gamma and NT tuners and EQ graphic equalizers.
The end. The last Alpha models date from 1988 to 1991, and Nikko hi-fi ended in the early 1990s. It has no connection with Nikko, the radio-control toy maker.
