Remarks[edit]

  • Further models of the same series: From the 8080 a whole series of integrated amplifiers emerged one year later: SU-8099 as the top model (US price $1,000!), then SU-8088 etc.

The technology of the 8080 and the following series was much more innovative and more elaborate than that of the *600 series with the SU-8600 at the top, which was sold at the same time as the 8080; this can be seen in the technical data as well as in the price. The SU-8600 was a good 100 US$ cheaper than the 8080 (460,- US$ 1978).
