Reports[edit]
Been running this thing since the late 80's of last century. The box is indestructible.
Slight contact noise over the speakers when the volume control is turned up over half.
Otherwise, this receiver shines with crystal clear sound. Due to the switchable basses, it even makes pressure on the ear with headphones.
