Sony TA-E80ES preamp from 1990. Class A solid state. More inputs and outputs than I thought possible (3 tape loops!) including balanced. Stellar MC phono stage, quietest I’ve ever experienced with a LOMC. Maybe it’s the double cascaded power supply regulation.. Nonetheless it now anchors my TV system along with:
Heathkit UA-2 EL84 tube monoblocks from the late 50’s. An easy rebuild, they’re the sweetest (and most dynamic!) 12 watts I’ve ever heard whether they’re driving rebuilt Large Advents, a Fostex backloaded horn single-driver system, or, my favorite, B&W 805 D3’s.
