Dynamic, Warm and full-bodied sound-Audiophile quality!
This is a superb example of 1970's JVC amplifier. The build quality (chunky) is top-notch and all controls feel solid/silky smooth. The sound quality can be described as warm, clean, open, and very transparent. Resolution is the greatest strength with this amp as the mids/highs are very (sweet/warm) articulate and in particular, the phono s...tage is powerful and very agile too. The bass is deep and well controlled and can be greatly extended with the loudness switch engaged. It is also very musical indeed that many modern amps lack today. It incorporates a heavy transformer with 2 x large capacitors that deliver very high current, so this enables it to drive many types of speakers with ease. It will be well packed for delivery (Fully insured and Tracked).
