Schveet, but everything packed in there so tight maybe the output caps could have been a bit larger.

The two output caps are Nichicon 80v 22,000uf each. What is a good size for caps in an amplifier? I understand that there’s a fine line between too big and not big enough.

Wow, now those are some huge caps! How many watts is that amp? What power company is missing their step down transformer? You got some serious balls, I mean Belles!

100watts of smoooooth power, completely unflappable. I have two of them with very close serial #'s heh heh heh, up until recently they were bi-amping my Infinitys.

Talk about rare, I've been looking for another on eBay for a couple of yrs now.

Two of my favourites are the little Marantz 1060 and the Thorens TD125. Both of which live in my secondary, fully vintage system.

Nothing much audio related makes me say "wow" anymore.

But these still make me smile on Sunday mornings.
