I have been enjoying the heck out of a Heathkit sa3 integrated c.1960. Cost me a whopping $160. That's less than $60 per quality watt! Old school here. Flash forward 20 years, same holds true. Little $$+ big enjoyment= Smarts!! Enjoy our giving of Thanks this day!!
El cheapo sleeper amps....
I have an el cheapo intergrated amp non-es Sony from the late 80s-early 90s era and Im puzzled why this relatively modest amp is such a stellar performer...and the phono stage is above average as well...any other sleeper el cheapo amps that out perform their modest intentions?
