After 40 years – the pots have the slightest crackle & a slight blip as powered up/down (I select speakers off before doing so of course) but it shows on the Fluroscan meters. I know I need to do a re-cap but for now it seems fine – despite the age bet I haven’t put more than 400 hours of use on it. The accompanying Tuner, PL200 & Cassette deck still both work fine too – how’s that for reliability. However I had missed the clarity & separation that I used to hear from Vinyl in 1980…. my ears I thought – but no the original CS525 speakers long having rotted away in my victorian cupboards – it wasn’t all my hearing – the (even more ancient) Marsden Hall speakers were muffling it. Bought some Magnat 1002 tower speakers which it drives effortlessly – & Denon DCD 600NE cd player & I’m astounded by the sound this amp still produces.
Despite my ears top end of 12khz (but bottom end is fine) the sound is spacious, balanced, & well defined – almost as good as the 1980’s! I’m quite happy to enjoy this amp until I get around to replacements/it breaks – or I do – whichever comes first. You can buy them form around £150 on Ebay – if you want one & some good speakers don’t hesitate – you won’t be disappointed.
“Both” ? – meant “all”
“form – shld read as “from”
oops! ; )
