I'll bet that amp was not overly cheap in it's day though. It easily cost a months wages in the seventies for a good amp, or turntable, or pair of speakers. Something not many people are willing to spend today. Fortunately it's just not necessary for a reasonable amplifier any more, definitely not necessary for a good CD player, but most people don't realise it still is for a decent pair of speakers. MrT.
