Pioneer A-616

Short description

Amplifier in the same housing as the A-717 and also with full metal controls. Amplifier in the same housing as the A-717 and also with full metal controls. Further development of the A-66X, still with an unencapsulated transformer. Further differences to the A-717: no copper chassis, only internally visible sheet metal not painted. Furthermore no muting button and no phono EQ button, but available in silver.
