Nice Denon DRA 1025RA 125w/ch stereo receiver remote controlable w phono MM/MC

FS is my nice Denon DRA 1025RA AM/FM stereo receiver. This was Denon's top of the line unit in the late 80ss and puts out 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms and over 300 watts per channel peak into 2 ohms. Features Pure Current power supply and optical Class A design in the power amp. Has 40,000uf in caps and a large Toriodnal transformer. The FM section is very good and has switchable bandwidth. The unit has inputs for video switching BUT it is NOT an AV receiver.
Has outputs for 2 pairs of speakers and headphones as well as preamp out jacks. Has inputs for CD, phono (MM/MC), two tape decks, VDP, VCR1 and VCR2and power amp in jacks.. Controls include 40 presets, switchable bandwidth, variable loudness, balance, bass ,treble, mono stereo, simulated stereo, and -20db muting I do not have the remote but my $19 universal ran it It is in very good shape and everything works as it should. There are some scratches on the top cover but the front is nice and the display is clear. many get foggy. The controls have a nice old school feel to them Power to spare with good punch and a slightly warm sound Asking $150 Check my feedback Thanks

    This is a very nice receiver. I have a couple little sisters to this one, DRA-825R and DRA-835R. I have driven my LSi-15's with the DRA-825R and DRA-835R all day long and they do so quite nicely (unlike the newer offerings). The DRA-1025RA should do even better.
