AI-assisted summary

Below are the key technical features and specifications of this vintage amplifier.

Feature Specification
Output power 75 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) 2x 100W @ 4 Ohm
Frequency response 10 Hz to 100 kHz
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 0.09%
Damping factor 20
Input sensitivity 2.5 mV (MM turntable), 150 mV (line input)
Signal-to-noise ratio 73 dB (MM), 100 dB (line input)
Dimensions (W x H x D) 420 x 109 x 280 mm
Weight 7.0 kg
Features & Connectivity
• Solid-State Technology: Utilizes transistors, ensuring accurate sound reproduction and reliable power handling compared to tube amplifiers.
• Phono Input: Equipped with a Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage, allowing for the direct connection of a traditional turntable without an external preamplifier.
• System Integration: The A-74 supports system remote control functionality when paired with matching components from the M-series. Individual KA-74 units from 1985–1986 were originally supplied without a standalone remote control.
• Color: Primarily finished in brushed black metal, matching the typical hi-fi aesthetic of that era.
