| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? & even better after lighting up some 420 :)Seriously, never knew that about the Nak 420, always thought that stack of Nak gear was cool looking and that maybe the preamp was the weakest of those 3 pieces (amp,pre & tuner) | |
| Rarest Brands for Sale on 'Gon I once had a Celestion integrated amp called the Ditton Elan di260 might have been the model number, quite rare. Just another one of those obscure Brit integrateds from the 80’s, EJ Jordan was another rare one. Anyone remember Wingate amps? Not fo... | |

| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? Thank you Erik!Tomorrow I'll be receiving an inexpensive Amp Camp clone that appears to be very well made; however, it's only 5 wpc instead of 8.
