  • Notes

  • The AAA-1640 is an amplifier for the audiophile who constantly strives for musical reproduction free from imperfection and coloration. It features distinctive styling, excellent specifications, and a unique combination of power and features which offer the ultimate in musical reproduction and the maximum in system protection.

    For more precise control add the optional peak-responding panel meters to your 1640. Sensitive enough to respond to peaks as short as a record click, the meters feature backlighted scales, and calibration from —30 to +3 dB and 0.2 to 200 watts (into an 8 ohm load). Install the meters after assembly or save $39.95 by purchasing them with your
    amplifier.
