Technics SE-A5MK2 Power Amp & SU-A6MK2 Control Amp in Excellent Condition

SU-A6 MK2 & SE-A5 MK2:
A “Golden Era” combination made in Hi-Fi heaven!

The Technics SE-A5MK2, released in Japan in 1980 during the Japanese “Golden Era” of high-fidelity audio equipment, is a superb power amplifier. It supplies 120 W per channel at 8 ohms (or 160 W @ 4 ohms), with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of <0.002% (20 Hz - 20 kHz). It features a groundbreaking linear feedback class A circuit. The linear feedback circuit comes from Technics’ developments in realizing infinite bare gain, without worsening the phase characteristics of the high frequency range, ideal for a negative feedback amplifier. The VU meters are huge, precise, and gorgeous, and the amp’s overall aesthetic is vintage and handsome. Critics remark that the SE-A5 is a highly detailed and “pure” amplifier, absent of distortion in playback. The SE-A5 is beautiful and sounds phenomenal, making it a highly sought-after unit.

The Technics SU-A6MK2, also released in Japan in 1980, is a superb control amplifier which contains technology similar to that of SU-A2 and SU-A4. It features a class A design which eliminates switching and crossover distortion. The equalizer amplifier has a dual parallel low-noise FET design, with direct MC connection or MM connection via gain switching. The SU-A6 provides low output impedance by a SEPP buffer amplifier, which allows a wider range of power amps to be used without distortions of the waveform. Overall, the SU-A6 sounds fantastic, making it a highly sought-after unit as well.

Simply put, these two units as a pair will form a superb backbone to any audiophile's signal chain. In many ways, these vintage Japanese hi-fi units are just unbeatable in terms of quality for the price. Don't miss this awesome combo!

These units are both in excellent condition, with some minor expected aging, including a few minor scratches, scuffs and oxidized (please see photos). Both amplifiers have been thoroughly checked and tested by our professional technician, who has confirmed their integrity and working condition. Japanese Golden Era amps are known for their robust construction and use of the highest quality parts, so it’s likely this unit will see many more years of use.
