Superscope A-245

Options
Bought this for my Audeze headphones but no longer need it since I have the Benchmark. It's basically a Marantz 2010 without the tuner. It's in great condition with no issues. $150 local only for now in DFW.

    I had the same thought.

    Superscope, in those days, had been Sony's US importer/partner (although I think that relationship had dissolved by the 1970s) and, also owned the Marantz brand. They also sold components under their own name -- Some seemed very Marantz-like, others more Sony-like.

    I'll post the back tonight. I'm only selling to fund a replacement amp for my 2-channel setup. Luckily I have a small 5 channel B&K amp and just upgraded my headphone amp/dac to hold me over. So I'll manage if I have to wait but would be nice to replace it.

    According to this : https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/superscope/a-245.shtml 1973.

    I haven't had it long I bought it off Craigslist a few months ago from a guy who collects vintage gear.
