  • In this video, I discuss the repair this beautiful vintage Technics SU V65A amplifier I recently purchased to resell.
    Many of these late 1980's Technics amplifiers suffer with the same problem. It’s something that’s relatively easy to repair when you know where to look!
    Hope this video helps save a few of these classic amplifiers from the bin!

    I had one of them back in the day it served me well for many years before switch problems, pod problems etc...I just invested in a Denon Amp...

    Easy peasy when you know what you're doing!

    Panasonic/ technics makes durable reliable products. These products are going on 35+ years old. Thats a generation. Like you said if you can repair them and make them last longer, that would be cool. The dynamic range was excellent on technics integrated amplifiers. + low THD.

      Yes so true. Also, if you can get a good deal on one of these on the secondhand market you’d be very hard pushed to find something better for the price. Certainly nothing new for the same money would outperform it in my opinion.

    The simplest and cheapest company on the planet, but also the best-looking in terms of design, otherwise nothing out of the ordinary in terms of construction.

    Stk is junk. But i still like these cause i grew up with these units. But yes I prefer 70s units.

      I think 70s, especially the late 70s was the peak of Hifi greatness. Similar to you , I grew up with Technics. Even had a Technics bomber jacket back in the day 😂. For a lot of people it’s the nostalgia why they are so popular.

    You'd be AMAZED at how many models of these late 80's to late '90's Technics I've owned. They can be found for dirt cheap at thrift shops. As far as I'm concerned they are NOT "great" or "well-built" amplifiers. Maybe good for a garage. The best way to avoid issues with these amplifiers is to not buy them to begin with.

      I see your point …but if you can get one cheaply they aren’t bad I believe, compared to what else you can buy for the money. With the right speakers they can sound half decent imo.

      @@SonicSalvagex Thanks for letting me express my opinion. I'm a big fan of 70's Technics receivers. I've held on to a dozen or so in my collection that I appreciate. Good luck and take care.

      Thanks for commenting. I wish I had a big collection of audio gear, sadly I have to sell all the stuff I get in to pay the bills!
