The H/K 430 is the bottom of the line of the twin-powered receiver models in that series, and it does NOT have pre-amp-out and main-amp-in capability. The 630, 730, and 930 models have this capability, though. The tuners in the 430, 630, and 730 are virtually identical, with the 930 having a bit better tuner section...albeit ALL of these have great little tuner sections! The 430 was conservatively rated at 25 wpc, the 630 at 30 wpc, the 730 at 35 wpc and the 930 at 45 wpc, based on factory specs published at the time of their introductions. The 630 and the 930 came out at the same time, but a couple of years later, the 430 and the 730 appeared in the line-up. When they showed up, the 630 was dropped from the line in favor of the 730 model...and the 930 remained at the top of the line. These were some of the best selling receivers in the WORLD at the time, with the 430 ONLY being outsold by the 330 model(the best selling receiver in the world, but NOT twin-powered). There is a REASON why these outsold similarly-rated receiver models by Marantz, Pioneer, Sansui, etc., in their day. Listen to one, and you will quickly find out what that reason is! Keep in mind that one could buy a receiver model from Pioneer, Sansui, etc, with twice the power rating as a particular H/K x30 model, with more "bells & whistles" than the H/K, for about the same price...but these H/K models STILL outsold them!!
