Now you can step up to the performance of separates without overstepping your budget.![]() The performance of separates. That's something most people want but, up until now, couldn't afford. Now you can, with the SU-7100 integrated amp and the ST-7300 tuner. The SU-7100 is quite a lot of integrated amp, but then we put quite a lot into it. Starting with sophisticated circuitry that's as low on noise as it is on distortion. like a high-gain Darlington circuit to maintain low distortion levels. Like 35 watts per channel, minimum RMS into e ohms from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0.1% total harmonic distortion. That's the kind of power you need to get the dynamic range you want out of your music. It may seem complicated, but it sounds beautiful. So do pair-packed dual transistors, especially since they help keep THD down to a mere 0.1% at full-rated power, and 0.03% at half-rated power. When it comes to your records you want to hear music-not noise. That's why the SU-7100 has a pre-amp with a two-stage, direct-coupled, low-noise phono equalizer that yields a very impressive and very quiet 78 dB S/N ratio (2.5 mV, IHF A). Or 90 dB S/N (10 mV, IHF A). The SU-7100 also has low-distortion main tone controls. Two-way tape dubbing. A 41-step master volume control. A or B speaker selection. And more. That's what you get with the SU-7100 amp. What you get with our ST-7300 tuner is just as impressive. Starting with a test-signal generator for optimum FM recording level settings. And like our expensive tuners, the ST-7300 gives you flat group delay filters for high selectivity and low phase distortion. Phase Locked Loop IC's for low distortion and wide, stable stereo separation. And a zero-center and signal-strength tuning meter. The SU-7100 and ST-7300. They're your way of turning one modest budget into two separate components. Cabinet is simulated wood. Technics by Panasonic Also see: Sonus (SONIC RESEARCH, INC.) -- Phono Cartridges
