Default Re: JVC JA-S71 amplifier (1976)

The reputation of the 33/303 is somewhat larger than the reality.
I agree, IMHO the power amp never sounded as good as my Quad II's (which I will never part with).

The JVC does sound better than the 33/303, it really makes my Tannoys sing
There is a wonderful clarity and depth from the JVC that the Quad just could not match, it has not missed a beat since I serviced it four years ago, no doubt it will outlast me!

The 33/303 was swapped for a Leak stereo 50 last year, another restoration project awaiting attention...
