Technics SU-V7 stereo integrated amplifier - 2nd unit - silver
Early 80s model with vertical selector knobs, front panel selectable moving coil & moving magnet phono stages
Rated at 80W RMS New class A amplifier circuit
New Class A :
refers to the amplifier
type :
Class A
amplifiers have their
transistors always turned on during each half cycle of the music waveform. It means they are power hungry and
require a big heavy power transformer and large smoothing capacitors. The upside is no crossover distortion
and a high quality sound
Class AB
amplifiers are the
standard - they switch off one half of the transistors when not needed and then turn them on again as the
music waveform requires. This is efficient, so that you get a lot of power for low cost, but the downside is
more distortion as the transistors turn on / off and on again
New Class A
is the Technics amplifier
circuit design where transistors are left on a small amount always - still cheap to make but with much less
crossover distortion and a lot of power for less weight and expense
This is why you see
New Class A
amps still going strong
after 25 or 30 years - owners get a good quality sound and ample power - and so you don't have to turn the
volume up too much to attain average listening levels. They punch above their weight and last and
last
