Technics SA-1000
(1978 - 1980)

Definitely not the most sought-after monster receiver and definitely not the best-remembered. One of the rarest for sure. And the most carefully designed of all - quite obviously. At nearly 40kg and a 63cm width, no, they don't make 'em like this no more.
The SA-1000 isa refined and much upgraded version of the SA-5770.
