Vintage Pioneer ‘Blue-Line’ Amplifier
Designed and manufactured in the late 70s - when Pioneer separates really were ‘Made in Japan’ and built without compromise. This lovely amplifier is in excellent physical condition and full & perfect working order. Many useful facilities, including high quality built-in MM phono pre-amp.
One tiny blemish on the front fascia (see picture 4) which I haven’t attempted to disguise. If it wasn’t for this, I’d happy to describe the condition as mint.
The following information is from the excellent hifiengine.com website
Description:
“The Pioneer SA-508 features a power amplifier section that packs a consistently stable power punch.
The advanced phono circuitry has plenty of leeway in the S/N and other characteristics.
Power level is indicated with two fluorescent display tubes which feature a very fast response.
The amplifier also features a rich store of accessory functions, including a subsonic filter, loudness circuit, function indicators, two sets of tape inputs and two sets of speaker connections.”
