Technics SA-1000

preliminary

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 is a refined and much upgraded version of the SA-5770.
