    Amps with VU meters? what to buy?

    Hi, try the DENON POA 1500 mk2 if you really have to have vu meters , Soundcraftsmen is another but will be costly. The DENON is probably circa late 70s early eighties so you should find a good one on the bay cheap enough. Not my thing but hope this helps. sound wise not sure , have fun ;)
