Hello, I have the very difficult task to choose a used amplifier without hearing it first.There are dozens of vingate amplifiers in my small country, some had excellent reviews, others were impossible to find.I picked some of them, would anyone help me? I am on a tight budget, but next year I will buy the Asus Xonar ST audio card and play flac files through it.All prices are for the amps, shipped to my door :
ROTEL : RA-214 = £ 30 / RA-700 = £ 55 / RA-921 = £ 55 / RA-930AX MKII, made in Taiwan = £ 75 / RA-840BX3 = £ 75 / RA-1212= £ 105
ONKYO : A-8450 = £ 75 / A-8650 = £ 100
Hitachi HA-6 = £ 80. It was repaired and features SanKen (Japan) 2SA1491 and 2SC3855, also Nichicon 2x 12 000uF
Hitachi HA-6800 = £ 115 / Hitachi HA-4700 = £ 40
There are also a dozen of old Marantz amps from the PM series...
