Rotel RA-840BX2 Stereo Integrated Amp, Phono, Ex Sound Dual Power Transformers, Built, Powerful

Very nice sounding and very well designed Rotel RA-840BX2 Stereo Integrated amp. This amp uses independent power transformers for each channel, better imaging, better dynamics, more control and better sound. It uses discrete output transistors and was built when Rotel was making a name for themselves. It is loaded with nice features, including a very nice sounding phono section. It has inputs for Tape 1, Tape 2, Tuner, CD, Phono(MM+MC), headphone jack, nice heavy duty speaker terminals. It is nice cosmetically and has been well cared for, non smoking environment. It is very conservatively rated at 40 watts per channel, but doubles its power into 4 ohms and has high dynamic headroom. It sounds superb, open, detailed, transparent, involving, extended, poweful, natural, quiet, smooth and very musical. It is quite heavy and a low profile unit, measuring 17x12x2.5. Buy with confidence, see my feedback. Good Listening, SonnY :)
