Sony TA-FE520R integrated stereo amplifier in silver finish, serial number 5102403, in good physical condition and tested and functional, with 2 x 75 W RMS at 8 ohms (2 x 100 W at 4 ohms).
Description from the seller
Sony TA-FE520R powerful integrated stereo amplifier in a stylish silver finish, technically in 100% working condition and visually in neat condition. A reliable and musical classic from Sony’s renowned QS-inspired range, valued for its robust Japanese engineering, dynamic control and clear sound image.
The amplifier features Sony's famous SLL (Super Legato Linear) circuit and a oversized Torus transformer (torus-shaped power supply) with heavy smoothing capacitors. This concept minimizes switching distortion and provides excellent power delivery, allowing even demanding speakers to be driven with tight, controlled bass and a natural midrange. For purists, the unit provides a Source Direct function, bypassing tone controls for the shortest and purest signal path.
For vinyl enthusiasts, there is an excellent phono preamplifier (MM) on board, complemented by a wide selection of analog audio inputs and a motorized volume control. The solid speaker terminals accommodate two pairs of speakers and support heavier cables and banana plugs.
The unit has been extensively tested; all inputs, switches and potentiometers operate smoothly and crackle-free, and the amplifier delivers its full, dynamic stereo sound immediately.
