Reports

• I saw the amplifier in the middle of the 1990s at Conrad in the remnant ramp and bought it for 200,- DM because I couldn't leave it there. It has an extraordinarily good feel+look+performance - especially when you consider the normal price of 400,- DM. At that time I was used to my Pioneer A-757MkII from 1989. In the meantime there were only plastic bombers in the price range up to 1000,- DM. Thus I would classify my purchase at that time as a lifetime bargain. The amplifier is probably rather unknown, therefore in good condition even today again and again as a completely underestimated bargain to get.
