Last month I gave my neighbor my JVC R-S7, thinking I had enough stuff. I did not expect, however, to find another JVC piece so soon... Today I have a new addition to the family:

The amp seems to work well, but it does need a good cleaning. :music:

One other thing, the indicator lamps are not functioning.
If anyone has any tips regarding fixing the lamps this would be much appreciated.

Simply a wonderful piece you have there, GS!
The power & headroom it exudes is outstanding.

I had a bead on an X5, but like other great deals in my path, I passed on it. I got spooked about the dent on the right corner.

You have yourself one of the most under rated integrated amplifiers around. 100wpc in absolutely distortion free clean power. The super-a circuitry was well ahead of its time. Coupled with any speaker, this amp just sounds clean. Some people may not like how unforgiving it is of a poor signal...but feed it right...and its magic.
