    I still have the SU VX700 I bought a couple of yrs ago. I ran my Mission 752's off it too, and it was a nice old amp ,albeit was a few minor problems on mine ! I recall the 700 was 90 watts into 8 ohms .
    Your amp looks a real beauty !! nice find
    I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work

    Coincidently it was the SU-VX700 that started it all - brought me to the VX800 and VX920

    Only reason I gave up on the VX800 in the end was everyone I had (about three) eventually developed the same channel crackling / dropping out, then dissappearing issue - something to do with speaker relay and heat or something I'm led to believe.

    Was a shame as I loved the thing paired with the Technics SH 8055 eq it sounded fab.

    Some nice gear you've nabbed there John

    Thanks Robbie. Yeah, looks like they're designed to work with a grahic equaliser, there's an out/in loop for it on the back, switchable from the front panel, I think it's labelled "adaptor". Very handy for connecting a valve buffer, means it's in circuit with each input rather than just using it between source and input.

    That Technics SH 8055 eq look fab. Don't see these mentioned too often on hifi forums but that's a whole new thread I suppose

    Thanks Anto, the Technics/Mission partnership must have had a lot of synergy, everybody seems to have paired them! The amp is a cracker, I'm well pleased with it and the CD player's such a perfect tonal match, they make a nice pairing.
