Great Vintage Amps-which one for you?


Hi, I'm 21 and I do have a passion for vintage amplifiers. There gems that are built like tanks with excellent components and the sound to die for. Too bad they don't make like this anymore. My favorite ones are most all vintage Pioneer, Nikko Alpha and NA Series (I have a Nikko NA-690 Integrated Amplifier), and Sansui AU Series. Anybody here have the passion for vintage gear?

Yeah, it took me awhile to get the lingo down too. ARC is Audio Research Corporation. So you will find their current products at http://www.audioresearch.com Keep your eyes peeled on ebay and here for a vintage ARC.

Thanks for the response Southpark. I went to ebay and they hardly have any vintage ARC. Any opinion on mixing hi-end speakers with vintage amps? Thank and happy listening. :)

I find vintage amps work well with hi - end speakers. I use a McIntosh 2100 amp to power some Montana DPS speakers and it sounds great.
