For sale is my Onkyo At intgrated amp. This is not some garage sale or estate find but my own personal unit and treated as such. This model is somewhat rare and is the model the put Onkyo on the map. It was made from 1976-78 IT IS IN ALMOST PRISTINE CONDITION THE POWER LIGHT AND FUNCTIONS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. . The unit is a 9 out of 10 with a faceplate, and case that are in excellent condition as is the inside. It features 65 w/ch into 8 ohms and 70 into 4 ohms. It weighs 28 lbs and has a huge transformer and two 26,000uf caps the size of beer cans. Has a Class A pre driver stage and uses all discrete outputs. Inputs for 2 tape decks, aux, 2 turntables. Can handel 2 sets of speakers as well as headphones and as having preamp out main amp in terminals. As usual the original power cord has been spliced and soidered back on as I use a detachable with my gear. I should mention I have owned many things and having worked in audio biz years ago ao I tried many things. The feel of the controls is second to none and volume control has a feel like no other. The sound is very clear and focused with very good detail with just a touch of warmth. This is about as nice a A 7 as you will find and everything works. The last nice one went of over $300 on that other site . I am asking $200 Thanks

    I used to have one of them. For the $, it is a great sounding integrated and the phono pre on it is excellent. Actually I like it so much I even used it for a long time as a preamp and had a bigger poweramp on it with the pre out.
