Quick question, is the Sony TA-N86 a v-fet amp? I see reference to a High-ft transistor, but I am not sure what that is?
Sony TA-N86B on thevintageknob.org
Also, any opinions on the amp and the matching TA-E86 preamp?
Thanks

Thanks guys!! It's what I suspected. The 88 is never around and a definite cautious purchase for the reasons mentioned. I guess it's the first generation and N7B/F7B that are the only Sony V-Fets.
I'm looking for a good solid state amp north of 60 watts for my Yamaha NS-1000M. The Yamaha B2's that people are selling are for high prices and half of them are in spotty condition. I need a good amp that is a just a nudge on the warm side of neutral that has good transients and deep soundstage. I would build a First Watt but they are lower powered, except for the F5T (which is a big investment).

Get goldmund clone. Even ebay chinese stuff with some parts upgrade can surpise you.
Maybe a beefed up bridged Pass may suffice?
I go for Hiraga's: there's a solid 30W version around, so in bridge that would do 120W?
Can you bridge the First Watt Sony V-Fets? If so, what would the wattage be?

Isn't one of the Nuprime amps a Goldmund OEM?
I'll first have a look at the circuit. Never viewed any Pass design sofar.Can you bridge the First Watt Sony V-Fets? If so, what would the wattage be?
If it can be bridged, in theory it would be four times a single.
