Yes, tossed as per my last post JDH

I had an earlier model Yamaha AVR that had a 5V trigger out, it worked fine triggering both a Rotel and Elektra Audio Power amp to turn on and off even though these amps were design to accept 12V input. JDH

Review from Sound and Vision JDH

I think you would be happy with any of those options in real world usage, I’d probably still stick with an AV processor over an AV Receiver if cost is not your main driver. I’m currently using a Marantz AV 8802a with a couple of Elektra Power amps (2ch Reference and 7ch Theatre). My other alternative prior to buying the AV8802a was to sell off the multi Channel power amp and keep the Reference 2ch Power amp and use it with a Marantz Flagship AV receiver. I think I would of been just as happy with either option. JDH,

The original like this one was made in the USA rather than China. JDH

I use the backbeat fit mostly when riding my bike. Not fantastic but still ok, can also use them to make and receive mobile call when needed. Also own some apple air pods an a pair of Logitech UE9000 Bluetooth and noise cancelling headphone when on long plane trips. JDH

I’ve seen them both with and without the mark 2 on the back and still being a mark 2. JDH

That’s the combination I also purchased 3 years ago as an upgrade to the earlier series of Elektra amps I’d owned for 10 years without issue. I have my amps connected to Paradigm Signiture series speakers with a Marantz AV8802a AV pre-Amp and Oppo 205, very happy with the combination. JDH

Mark 1 or Mark 2 version ? JDH

Last chance will be in the bin on Tuesday

No real series interest through the forum so ended up selling it last week through eBay as a pickup for $150. Hence no longer available for sale. JDH

The gold front face Elektra were a special version to match the popular Sony 9000es AV processor pre-amp at the time that was a similar gold colour. JDH

This is sold, pending payment and pickup. JDH
