Nice :)
Yes, agreed on the stylish looks of that Sony!
But hoops's photography doesn't really give it a chance to look like sorry 70's jap-amp either! ;)

That is not to decry this amp though. Just this German dude is unbelievable in his greed and distance from reality.
Cheers, The 'little' Sony is a great amp, I would say on par with the 670ES I have had, not a chance to try it out power wise, I doubt it will have the power reserve of the 770ES.
Well its been a bit quiet recently, back with the B60 as its had a clean bill of health from PMC/Bryston.
The Sony is resigned to the 'stock' pile... ;)
I have been playing with these Keesonic 701A after selling the Tannoys a while back. I decided to stay with the Rega R9s for the foreseeable future, although at the moment they are on long term loan with another forum member.
The 701A are not bad, not the best soundstage and imaging but they sound quite nice, punchy and articulate in the bass, nicely controlled too. Little harsh at times in the treble but thats really nitpicking, they seem easy to drive though, if a little insensitive, around 86dB IIRC.
I have my old pair of Kord Tornado's coming back to me soon, which should give me something 'new' to play with, as well as a new arm for the Gyrodec.

Well thanks to Andy (wiicrackpot) I now have a beautiful SME M2-9 to go on the Gyro, as soon as the new armboard arrives :)
Yum yum...
