Hi Squidball
,
Buying a surplus amp is really a 'lakasan ng loob' thing.
The mere fact that its even a vintage makes it worst.
Kaya lang, pag nahilig ka talaga sa bisyo na ito, lust will prevail.
I suggest u insist to audition the unit by bringing along your own source cd player and set of speakers maybe.
Test for a few minutes para kahit papaano ma chek...
Problems may really manifest after some time (but you can pray too
)
Anyway, help is around the corner, like FIl Audio (good fdbk, yet havent tried them yet)
Its just that there is really something nice about a vintage audio gear,maybe character and the sparkling big knobs and toggles...
Who knows, with this purchase, will signal the start of a love affair for this kind of hobby...
Its really a gamble...IMHO
Its up to u....
Goodluck!
Sir Mandrake,
Yes, my AU-9500 has three pairs of speaker outs. I used the A+B combination for my sala set-up and A+C set-up, if threre are family gatherings in the house to power up a remote pair of speakers (C) at the garden.
Cge, just give me a call...I will be available this weekend, plan to have my leave starting this Friday...pachek rin kidney stones....hehehe
