Description
Sony TA-3200F Stereo Power Amplifier Classic 1970s ES series in Excellent Condition
This Stereo amplifier was part of a working system when I received it.
It is in excellent condition and only has a small flat spot on the upper left corner which I have taken a close up picture of. It is not very noticable.
This classic 1970s Sony ES series power amplifier delivers robust, clean sound with 100 watts per channel RMS into 8 ohms – plenty of headroom for demanding speakers. Features a wide frequency response from 5Hz to 200kHz, low distortion, and that signature Sony build quality. Individual level controls, A/B speaker switching, and power limiting make it versatile for any hi-fi system. Tested and working perfectly. Cosmetic condition is very good with light signs of age consistent with a well-cared-for vintage piece. Ideal for pairing with a vintage preamp or modern source. A true audiophile favorite from the golden era of Japanese audio.
