Introducing the Technics SA-1000. With more
power and less distortion than any other receiver
we've made: 530 watts per channel minimum RMS
into eight ohms from 20 Hz-20 kHz with no more
than 0.03% total harmonic distortion.
But that's only one reason to buy the SA-1000.
Dynamic range is another. To capture the volume,
clarity and sheer dynamics of a live symphony, you
need an equally dynamic amplifier section. Like
72,000 nF worth of high-capacitance filtering,
separate DC rectifiers, current-mirror loading
and direct coupling. The results are impressive:
tremendous reserve power, negligible transient
crosstalk distortion and excellent stability.
And just for the record, the SA- I000's phono
equalizer gives you everything from a super-high
S/N ratio of 97 dB (10 mV, IHF A]. To a phono
input that can handle a 300 mV signal at I kHz.
On FM you'll get outstanding specs plus two
RF stages with low-noise, 4-pole, dual-gate MOS
FETs, Technics-developed fiat group delay filters
and a Phase Locked Loop 1C in the MPX section.

As good as all that sounds, Technics Acoustic
Control makes it sound even better, because it
adds low and high range boost and filter switches
which vary the way each tone control performs at a
particular setting. There's also a midrange control
with a variable center frequency. And 24 LED
peak-power indicators that let you keep an eye
on what your ears will hear.
The Technics SA-1000. In the world of receivers,
it bats 1000.

A few receivers give you 0.03% THD.
Only Technics gives it to you with
