I'm Steve.
For sale: vintage Sony TA-2650 integrated amplifier
As title, very nice condition and working. Casework very good, fascia unmarked, all lettering intact. The controls work beautifully (as you might expect from vintage Sony).
43W + 43W rated power, reviews report it seems like a lot more.
Priced a lot cheaper than ones I've seen for sale, £60 + £10 delivery, or collect.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Your Sony TA-2650 was Sony's top of the range amplifier in the mid '70s.
Yours looks to be in excellent condition.

Cheers Barry. The 2650 was a standard 'bipolar' design (it says here), same as the TA-1630 below it, and the TA-3650. Further up the chain, the 4650, 5650 and range-topping 8650 used Vertical Field Effect Transistors (VFETs), which although giving superior sound quality were apparently prone to "catastrophic failure", with the VFETs being unobtainium.Originally Posted by Barry
