TA-4650
(october
1974 - 1978)
Despite
V-FET's doomed existence in the market, the TA-4650
sold very well, almost as much as the later TA-5650.
However, this is the small one and it musn't be pushed beyond its
power capacities.
As for the 5650 and TA-8650,
the sadly famous diodes must be exchanged otherwise they will
take the V-FETs away: the reliability problems many complained
about at the time didn't come from the V-FETs but from those diodes
- the V-FETs themselves are very sturdy. And they sound divine,
even in the small TA-4650.
