Sony 730ES Integrated Amplifier

[Bigman80]

Hi all,

Well you should all know I have a love affair with Sony and this amp only made me love it more.

Unbelievable Build quality and better performance. 100wpc of pure SS power.

Here's the pics.

Its in outrageously good condition. Works perfectly and sounds fantastic.

It had just been serviced when I bought it at the start of the year.

I have recently acquired some new amplification so this is now surplus to requirements. I have the original packaging and will pack it to withstand a solar flare !!! Posted with tracking and insurance too !!!

This is a fantastic Amp and will perform well beyond its price. This is now officially priced as a bargain.

***PRICE REDUCTION***

**NOW**

£375 Collected.
£400 Posted.

This is a very good price for a fantastic amp . If I hadn't just bought a Croft pre and power amp I would be seriously thinking about buying this . Oliver is a real gent to deal with into the bargain .
Good luck with the sale mate .

Thanks Brian.

As usual with the ethos of the forum in mind, im not trying to make a profit.

I bought the STS 770 ES tuner, and it was very good indeed - a great range, and many of the Japanese amps from that period and earlier are still very good.

[Bigman80]

I heard some of the Arcam Class G amps at the weekend and to be honest, I thought the sony was better. The Arcam was £1200.

Thought it deliberate. Quite liked it too;). Surprised this is still hanging around tbh. Dont see these in this country very often in this nick. Can only increase in price too if looked after.

I know mate. There's one on eBay at the same price but the condition isn't as good as this.

It'll sell eventually. Won't drop the price though because it's worth every penny.

Yup , surprised this is still here . As Grant says , they don't come up in the UK very often , especially at this very good price .

What are the differences between the 700 and 730 Jamie ? The 730 does look lovely with the wood sides - I love wood sides :)

Is there a remote or if not can it be used with one? Jim

I agree, the wood cheeks really make it stand out. Oozing class too. Sound matches the looks.

It's a fantastic Beast Grant, £350 is a steal too.

Looks like I'll be putting in the loft for a rainy day.

I'll give it till the end of the weekend and then I'll put it away.

Did you know, credit cards don't charge you extra to pay for goods through PayPal. !!! There's a 2.5% charge to me though. I'd absorb the cost if that helped.

No PM in my inbox yet. I'll keep looking 😉

Finally! I was worried for you a while there! I had a CD player that matched it perfectly. Gave it to a friend. It was a Sony CDP608ESD, I used it for 29 years! Hard to find such quality these days.

Nice one Oliver- I'm sure the new owner will be very happy. If he/she isn't, I'll take the amp off them for what they paid :)

what a relief this is for me, now that it's sold. :)
I have (I like to believe) a somehow similar amp, the Pioneer A-757 mkII, in perfect, as new condition, and I love it!
good luck with it for the new owner.
