Technics SU-V-4X amplifier

[Nigel]

Anyone (DSJR) had any experience with a Technics SUV-4X amplifier? Or its siblings within the range. Think they date from the mid-eighties and offer a pseudo class A operation for the first couple of watts, Class AA.

OK and par for the course, but I don't remember sonic fireworks from this era of Technics. The smaller 2x was rated below average in a mid 80's 'Choice.

Technics did make some excellent amps in the early 90's with a solid high quality sound - I think '500' comes to mind for one of them - they had slightly curvy fronts..

I think they went into different marques here, but all had the Gibraltar reinforced resin? bases and the same style as the above and the boiggest from this range had some real grunt to it. Sorry I can't be of any more help here.

Cheers Dave. I won one on ebay. I'll see how it goes. Was hoping it would be a cheap and cheerful solution to running my AKG K1000 headphones. As you're aware they connect directly to the amps loudspeaker terminals. I've been happily using a Musical Fidelity A1 but that has developed a lot of dc on the left output so out of action for the moment. I have a class D Bantam Gold, which is fine but not in the same class though.
