From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!npoiv!alice!rabbit!jj Newsgroups: net.audio Title: Replying to Nikko Questions.(I think this should be on the net, this is net.audio) Article-I.D.: rabbit.646 Posted: Thu Jul 29 13:40:27 1982 Received: Fri Jul 30 04:15:33 1982 I have had some experience with Nikko Amps, both fo the home and for high-fidelity touring applications. Get the Alpha 220 or 440. They are very well behaved, and quite tolerant of odd loads.They have been not only very good sounding amps (the one in my lab is still better than .01% after having the () beaten out of it.) I have been using Nikko Alpha 440's in the place of Crown DC300's and PSA-2's, and have had very few problems. As far as the pre-amp- I would go with the Technics micro SU-?? or something like that, if it'sstill available. The NEW Nikko preamps aren't bad though. I have no experience with the tuners.
