Die Vollverstärker Sony TA-F270,TA-F470,TA-F490 und TA-F511 sind eigentlich

Sie sind die kontinentaleuropäischen Versionen der britischen Modelle TA-F440E
 
TA-F442E und TA-F540E/TA-F542E plus der Line-/Klangregelstufe aus dem etwas
 
älteren TA-F420.
 
Während der TA-F270 insgesamt qualitativ etwas abfällt (und praktisch identisch
 
mit dem in Japan verkauften TA-F500 ohne "ES"ist),befinden sich die übrigen drei
 
deutschen Modelle praktisch auf einem Niveau: gehobene Mittelklasse. Was ja auch
 
ihrer Plazierung im damaligen Sony Programm entspricht.
 
Die britischen Modelle können sich dank der fehlenden Line-/Klangregelstufe und
 
nicht vorhandener FTZ-Filtereien klanglich etwas besser darstellen.
 
Allen gemein ist ein solides Blechkleid und ein sauberer Innenaufbau.
 
Zudem sind die Verstärker servicfreundlich konstruiert und lassen sich durch
 
lösen von Schrauben und Steckverbindungen fast komplett zerlegen und auch easy
 
wieder zusammenbauen.
