Yamaha A-1 integrated amp

摘要

The A-1 amp was a quirky-looking unit. First released in 1978, it appeared to be out of place in Yamaha's line-up of Natural Sound components, its sleek cosmetics and sparse button count at odds with the corporate look that not only Yamaha but most of the large Japanese and Continental manufacturers adhered to at the time. Rated at 70W, the amplifier sat at the centre of a range that encompassed everything from low-power budget cheapies right up to the monster pre-power combos that were a Japanese staple product in the late 1970s.
