The 330C and 430 used the same circuit boards, the 430 had two transformers though. They sound virtually identical.
The Yamaha from the same vintage sounded smoother on the Klipsch, and the Tandberg was even better (but very expensive).
I sold and serviced HK, Yamaha, Tandberg, Klipsch, JBL, etc from about 1975~1988.
I love the sound of the better old gear from this period, but as spare parts become non-existent I hesitate to recommend them anymore. I own a Nakamichi TA-2 that sounds wonderful, but can only use the power amp section as the switches and controls wear out.
