Great amp! i got two of 'em. i bought one in tokyo in '73, the other i bought from onlline july '08.
both are used almost daily, one for my home theater setup with a blu ray and an hd dvd player hooked up for multi-channel (4.0) use, the other for general music listening.
while they still work very well, each has developed a hiss in one channel after running an hour or so. probably need some cap work.

my dumbass friend plugged his guitar into this one and burned it out. need to replace a few singed components in the power section and it should work fine.

it turns out they had shielding cages inside to seperate the preamp and power amp. looks like i need to find some OEM cages, dammit. this one has none.

i was lucky to even get the cabinet with this. i first got it without the cabinet and my friend showed up a year later with the cab.
