Pioneer - SA-8500 MK II Solid state amplifier

Amplifier from the golden era of Hi-Fi, the Pioneer SA 8500 II for sale has just been serviced by a specialized technician and is in excellent working condition. It shows very tiny signs of age visible in the photos, which are an integral part of the description, but overall the condition is very good.
This amplifier is built like a tank, featuring a beautiful brushed aluminum front panel with engraved lettering. It sounds very neutral (in the positive sense of the term) and detailed. The phono outputs are excellent.
Being the mk II version, it is equipped with dual power supply.
