Hi all,
Without venturing into 'stupid money territory' the best quality audio by
far I've ever heard came from one particular solid state stereo amplifier
I'd be interested in re-acquainting myself with. Unfortunately I can't
recall the make or model number which is obviously a big barrier to the
desired reunion. However, if I mention some scant details I *do* remember
about it, maybe it will jog someone's memory.
What I _do_ recall is the following:-
It wasn't a Technics branded amp but neither was it one of the budget
brands.
It wasn't of European manufacture (I'm pretty sure it was Japanese).
It was the standard "separates" size of the late eighties/early nineties
and I owned one briefly 16 years ago so it can't be any later than 2003
and probably much earlier.
It had an all black finish.
It was only 60W per channel but punched above its weight in this respect
and produced _the_ most outstanding sound quality.
It was massively heavy on one side so must have had a _very_ substantial
transformer for such a relatively low power amp.
It had an unusual (and very cool) feature I'd never seen before or since
which hopefully will identify it: a quite small volume knob with a little
red LED on one edge of it which lit-up and physically rotated whenever
the remote control unit's volume button was activated.
Does that ring any bells with anyone? I wouldn't mind trying to find
another one!

Too bad, actually quite a few amplifiers had that
feature, my wife's parents had one in Florida.
