Harman Kardon - 330A Solid state stereo receiver

Harman Kardon 330A + Original shipping cardboard box It is incredible how a so old amplifier sounds. I have bought 54 year Harman Kardon 330A perfect conditions all original. Wonderful. Very very pleasant sound. Inside all components are in a particular order that confirm the good project. There are no noise or buzz or hiss. I love it! It is connected to a T+A PP120 speakers. Listening Jazz is pure melody. The bass are present with deep sound and body but are not intrusive, they are really balanced. Voices are present and the treble are not so metallic like modern amplifier. It is a masterpiece. General: Manufacturer: Harman/Kardon Model: 330A Type: Receiver Years of manufacture: 1972 - 1974 Sound & Character: The Harman Kardon 330A impresses with its typical warm, musical vintage sound: • natural and pleasant playback • balanced, relaxed sound image • very nice stereo imaging • excellent phono preamp – ideal for vinyl A classic receiver with a musical character instead of artificial harshness. Ideal for: • lovers of classic hi-fi technology • vinyl enthusiasts (strong phono section) • collectors or as a high-quality everyday receiver. An honest, vintage receiver with original character and modern everyday suitability. Beware: Reserve Price – This opens at €550,00 – Below that price you cannot buy this. Identical to the Harman Kardon 330A (Nocturne era) other than cosmetics: Harman Kardon runs on two mottos – the first, to reproduce sound exactly as the artist intended it to be heard. Their audio speakers are created to produce beautiful and clear music just as you would hear in recording studios. The second, is to make music look as beautiful as it sounds, through their cutting-edge design. All through the ’50s and ’60s, the brand continued to seek out new technologies. In the late 1960s, Harman Kardon collaborated with a young high-tech firm, which had innovative ideas such as reducing audio noise. This company was Dolby Laboratories and Harman Kardon products continue to feature Dolby equipment like the Dolby Digital receivers even today. It was no surprise then that by the mid-70s, Harman Kardon was a leader in American consumer audio. Soon, the company changed its name to Harman International Industries, but retained Harman Kardon as an individual brand. Harman Kardon’s design goal is to have the highest possible design quality for the price, rather than unnecessary features. The Harman Kardon model 330 series (330, 330A, B and C) from 1968-1979 is an example of the company’s design philosophy, a basic no frills stereo transistor receiver but with excellent performance in its class. It is still sought by audio collectors as a quality basic Hi-Fi receiver. Published specs: o Power Output: 35 Watts into 8 Ω, 45 Watts into 4 Ω o Total Harmonic Distortion: less than 0.15 % o Frequency Response : 7 Hz to 50,000 Hz o Signal to noise ratio: 90 dB (line) o Power Supply: AC, 110 - 240 Volt o Dimensions: 387 x 114 x 330 mm o Weight: 9,45 kg The photos provided are contractual: you buy exactly what you see.
