Recently picked a mint Nikko set up; Alpha 220, Beta 20 pre. Liked the way it sounded at higher volumes but the pre amp lacked the variable loudness or any loudness. Ended up on e-pay one night, bidding on a mint C-80 with issues. One channel was louder than the other. My hope was the hidden balance control. Openned the package and sure enough the balance was off center. Finally got around the giving it a test listen. It appears both channels work fine.
