Welcome to my listing for my superb and rare Sony TA-F450ESD Integrated Amplifier. This stunning Japanese made unit is an exceptionally good sounding amplifier, from the very best vintage of Sony. Anyone who knows this particular amp knows what a rare gem it is. Often paired with high end sources and loudspeakers, this clean and powerful amplifier delivers audio of the quality expected by true connoisseurs of hifi. Onboard are twin Burr Brown PCM58P 18-bit DACs, lauded by many to be the very best sounding Burr Brown chips ever made, with 8-fold oversampling and filtering taken care of by the revered Sony CDX1144AP & the Yamaha YM3623B chips. This means that with this amp, not only do you get a top of the line powerful analogue amplifier, but you can also upgrade your old CD player (or any digital source for that matter) to a truly high end sounding unit by taking advantage of the wonderful DAC setup included in this beautifully constructed unit. The dedicated headphone amp is also of a very high quality and easily drives my Quad ERA-1 planar headphones exceptionally well. As you can see from the pictures, this amplifier is in beautiful condition all round. There are some slight marks here and there but nothing major. You will struggle to find another one of these in such well cared for condition as this. This is a stunning amplifier from a legendary era of Sonys lineage. ~~~~ Please look at my other listings and read my feedback to understand what effort I put in to shipping top quality hifi components safely and securely.
