Pioneer Spec 1 Preamp And Spec 2 Amplifier, Both Units Internally Restored- RARE
Rare and TOTL Vintage Pioneer Spec 1 Preamplifier and Spec 2 Stereo Amplifier.
Both units recently internally restored with service document and parcel of replaced parts available.
100s of parts replaced including the large filter caps in the Spec 2.
Quite possibly the best vintage Pioneer gear the audio giant ever made.
Restoration tech said this combo was the best sounding gear he has heard of the 200+ units he’s worked on.
Please feel free to ask questions.
These two will be professionally packed by a carrier certified ship station to provide the best opportunity for these to arrive safely.
They will be individually packed.
Spec 1: Cosmetic condition is nice, with a bright face and nice lettering.
Faceplate corners show a minor ding on all corners, with minor scratching on the black metal top (see pics for condition)
Description
The Spec-1 has differential amplifier circuitry incorporated in the equalisation and tone control amplifiers.
This is complemented by a dual positive and negative power supply system for all amplifier sections, which provides improved DC balance and stability, while eliminating click noises due to switching.
An electronic muting circuit, employing a reed relay, blocks surge noise associated with power switch operation.
