That's actually a Technics and a very good amp. Technics, Panasonic, National, and Ramsa, among others, are brands that belong to Matsus**ta Electric. BTW, Matsus**ta also owns Japan Victor and its international brand JVC.

It is 100wpc at 6 ohms
Weighs 21kg!
Dual mono design.
Now, that is an amp!
Congrats bro!

Thank you Sandawa and Nelson O. Actually, I have 2. I acquired my first unit last year, and was impressed by its performance. When I came across another, very mint, unit last month, I didn't hesitate in buying

I also have a similar amp, the Technics SE-M100 (poweramp with built-in DAC) and another Panasonic, model SU-VX800.

Hi Reymer,

SE-M100 is a 100wpc/class AA/35kg? (i'm not sure)
You got beautiful Technics amps collections bro!
Btw, you said that your other amp is SU-VX800....
Maybe you meant SU-A800, but i may be wrong....

hi Nelson O,
Yes, Im a Technics Fan

Its really Panasonic SU-VX800, I think its 120wpc. I also has balanced inputs.
Here are the actual pics

My Technics SE-M100

(inside pic taken from the net) note the similarity with the Panasonic except for the caps and encased DAC

Wow!

Ang kinis bro!
Magaganda na mga model, makikinis pa!
I have only one Technics in my collection,
It's the lowly SU-3400
But, it's working perfectly and all original parts despite its age.
It is a laidback sounding amp.

Reymer · « **Reply #2614 on:** Dec 18, 2008 at 01:08 PM »

Yes, laidback sounding but still very detailed. For me, they still sound better than the newer, popular brand amps available that I've tried

Nelson O · « **Reply #2615 on:** Dec 18, 2008 at 01:38 PM »

Hi Reymer,

Is that a Marantz preamp underneath the SE-M100 powamp?
By the mere glance of its knobs

Reymer · « **Reply #2616 on:** Dec 18, 2008 at 02:38 PM »

Its a Marantz 1070 Int. Amp.

mga bossing, kakabili ko lang ng DENON AVC-3030G sa pier, ang tanong ko lang sana sa inyo kung saan pwedeng makabili ng remote controller nito. hindi naman ako bihasa sa mga AV Receivers kaya lang yun kaagad ang nakaakit sa akin nang makita ko sya sa mga salansan ng mga ampli. makinis pa sya, tsaka nagustuhan ko ang wood panelling nya. may kabigatan, nasa 18 kg ang timbang. isa pa pala mga bossing saan ba ako pedeng makapag download ng manual nito? wala na akong makita sa net e. Thanks!

simonzaide · « **Reply #2618 on:** Dec 22, 2008 at 01:40 PM »

try using a universal remote for it just input nlng the remote codes for denon kaso trial and error sya... for the manual medyo mahihirapan ka ng kaunti dyan pero you can try searching the net for it

hi all i would just like to ask something about the speaker terminals of most of our vintage amps. i tried using a bannana plug kaso di sya kasya. what are the other alternatives of connecting ur speaker wire aside from using barewire

btw my terminals look like this

thanks in advance

My dilemma also. There are protrusions around the binding posts and no contacts for spade lugs, while standard banana plugs are too loose at the rear holes of the posts. Very time-consuming having to pull out the wires from spade/banana plugs and thread the bare wires when you want to change amps. I hope our gurus here have some solutions

.

Reymer · « **Reply #2630 on:** Dec 26, 2008 at 04:31 PM »

Unless you are willing to replace the speaker terminals, I think there's no other way but to use bare wire

. All my vintage amps do not accept banana plugs or spade lugs either.

simonzaide · « **Reply #2631 on:** Dec 26, 2008 at 04:52 PM »

has anyone tried using a pin connector ? would it fit kaya ?

sandawa · « **Reply #2632 on:** Dec 26, 2008 at 08:14 PM »

Kung may butas yung speaker connector terminals, para talaga sa pin-type. Kung walang butas, pang bare wire siya. But if you want to use pin, magpuputol ka. No problem for Monster Cable pins dahil malambot, madaling mabali pero mas matibay gamitin for the old speaker terminals pag maikli na siya, kung hindi ka naghihinayang putulin kasi may gold content daw yun kaya daw easy to break (ewan ko lang!). Yung Quantum may malambot at may matigas, talagang bakal na gold-plated, kung minsan mahirap baliin parang mga mumurahin na pins. Unlike the cheap pins, the branded ones are connected line banana plugs, meron ding butas at screw to accommodate various wire sizes, so madali rin magtanggal.

I wish I could post photos of some of my hooked vintage amps using long (mostly Yamaha power amps) and short pins (old Accuphase, Sansuis and Luxmans) kaya lang nasa Maynila ako ngayon.

if you dont want to tamper your amp or want it preserve for possible future resell,
what you can do is to make a temporary adaptor connector temporarily fixed to the amp.
Buy the speaker connector that you prefer accdg to your need.
Solder a short pair of speaker wires to your preferred connector (at the back preferably) and then the other ends stripped of bare wire (these you connect to your amp's original speaker connector 'semi-permanently for the time being youre enjoying your amp...).Insulate the expose soldered metal part of your connector to avoid touching the bare amp chassis.Try to temporarily, fix this adaptor jig via wire wrap or equivalent using chassis holes/screws as 'anchor'.
If you plan to resell in the future, just remove this temp jig speaker connector preserving your amp in its orig condition...(buyers usually prefer stock condition...)
sorry guys, no pictures (too busy these holidays...)...just use your imagination based on what i described above.

Right place, right time..

You really feel it kung naka swerte ka. It happened again to me last Thursday at MCS.
Was just passing by looking for cd/dvd and went in this store at basement. Naka lapag sa isang tabi, naka balot ng plastic, got curious and saw it was a Marantz PM-84D in pristine condition, parang NOS

. from a collector also sabi ni Richard (you know him) but does not want to tell me who or if owner is a member of this forum. Any ways, isang tawaran lang sa tex, tapos ang boxing..
To the previous owner, sir if you are a member, please send me PM. I would like to thank you personally.
Thank you sir. NOS looking na

, NOS sounding pa

. and best of all, at PIER price pa!!!!

parang pang HiFi-Do
