Sony TA-F45

I didn't expect to find another Sony amp of this vintage any time soon, but got very lucky. This is one model down the line from the TA-F55 that I told you about recently. It produces 55 watts/channel (the TA-F55 was rated at 65), and has a regular volume control instead of the crazy but cool motorized one on the other. Other than those differences they are the same excellent sounding design, with great features: pulse power supply, moving coil capable phono stage with adjustable capacitance, gold plated phono jacks.

Update: This is a great sounding, powerful little amp, and the regular volume control makes it easier to use
