Interesting a lower power version of the A-777, both freq response 1Hz to 150kHz!

Intrigued since memories of ye olde A400 (& later X) in the hifi comics of yesteryear...

But then I remembered I have an A-77X retired in a box on a shelf. Deteriorated front panel switches, maybe they need a deoxit.

Turns out it's quite different, earlier, 1986 vs 91-92.

Frequency response: 10Hz to 100kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.003%
Damping factor: 100

Although it's totally dual mono.

Anyway, with 141 watchers and just past the $75 mark, it might be interesting to see what it goes for.

Final price seems about right according to Hifishark. Condition described as 'tidy', hard to tell but it looked a bit average in the photos.

Very average.

Never heard one of these, any good ?

Q for the electro-techs...

On these old amps with multi-voltage selectors, what's optimal for NZ ?

230V AC, nominal.

However the legislation allows "within 6%".

Mine is measuring 236V AC at the moment.

However my apartment block has its own mini-substation (a giant transformer next to the rubbish room).

If the equipment only has 240V as an option to set, that should be fine.
