I'll buy that for a dollar! I owned a Technics SA-500 for ~ 24 years before replacing it with an SA-600. These amps are not dead quiet like the Cayin TA-30 tube amp but they are built to last.Mr. Spindlelegs

I bought an SA 200 new in 1978 for $179 at a local hi-fi shop. It replaced a KLH Model Twenty system that I still have. The Technics lasted till my freshman year in college a few years later. I'm sure I abused it, causing it to quite prematurely. I recently reclaimed a portion of my youth and bought an SA 600. I built a real wood cabinet for it in the same configuation as the stock one. It sounds real nice with a pair of Large Advents. It seems to tone down the slight brightness inherint in the Advents. Soundstage may be lacking a bit but the bass produced by this combo is spectacular!
i had a technics preamp in the late seventies - i purchased it through hi fi farm or some such place - it can highly recommended - when i hooked into it i knew why - the technics combined with my ess eclipse series 2 worked (very) well with my bozak symphonies - total cost with delivery was slightly more than 200 dollars - i heard nothing but jokes from people who felt the technics was a sub par product and that i should have something better - like a fool i traded the technics for a soundcraftsman with the equalizer spread all over the front face - the worst piece of audio equipment i have ever owned - withing one or two listenings i knew i had made a mistake and within three weeks it traded the soundcraftsman for a hafler 500 and 110 pre - honestly, i think that little technics outperformed the hafler pre - a nice unit it was!!
