The Fez

...Please allow a little indulgence --- Gentlemen, in the little moment that remains to us between the crisis and the catastrophe, we may as well drink a glass of champagne.” – Paul Claudel, French poet

Yah...is gut!!

Exceedingly rare VFET amplifier. Japan only manufacture by the renown -- Victor Company of Japan. Known as Victor in Japan, you may know the manufacturer as the exported brand JVC. The amplifer uses 4 pairs of NEC Vertical Fet Devices. Manufacture - 1975- 1977. Japan only domestic market amplifier - therefore 100 VOLT Power supply is required. You will require a quality isolated 240v to 100v transformer. DO NOT use 120v or 110v supply to operate this amplifier. This amplifier is in original condition including the speaker terminals. You will require bare speaker wire or at maximum 2mm pins to connect speakers. Refer again to the date of manufacture. Power output - 100watts inmto 8 ohms. Weight - 20kg. I have driven 8, 6 & 4 ohmn loads with this amplifier without issue. Beautifully built bolid (beyond solid) piece of audio in remarkable condition. You need to see one in the flesh to appreciate the design and build. A collectors item, that also sounds excellent. The price is firm. - Thank you.

..well yes I can see the current vintages bang for buck -- but that is 2012??

Congratulations to Bentley Team-M Sport with a win at the Bathurst 12 Hour. The big Bentley Continental GT3 banger was strong and consistently fast at the mountain today...

“When I paid £35,000 for the 250 GTO in 1977, I felt stupid to be spending so much — I didn’t think it would be worth £30m in 2016. ---- Nick Mason ...Suggest the car is worth closer to 40m today....

For sure - Those feather weight glasses are incredible..I've had some in the past --- the stem seems paper thin...Glassware is important I think for enjoying various drinks, I'm not over the top with my glasses or glass collecting -- but do like champagne in crystal...

I love drinking bubbles from the Waterford classic crystal flutes.. I like the weight in the glass...I have a few pairs of toasting flutes from their Millennium Collection..

..don't forget the sticky this festive season.........
