Built like a tank ! this beautiful Solid-State Integrated Amplifier just arrived last week, it has been fully serviced by local Japanese technicians). You can email me (Insta: vintagejapanhifi_real / FB: VintageJapanHiFi) for costings.
This beauty came from 1 Japanese owner (smoke-free) environment, carefully well taken cared of, no distinct visible hard marks on the unit (front or back). Plus, the VU meters have been changed to LED lights. Later HIFI series products from Hitachi are later renamed as Lo-D.
As a dedicated audiophile, I have a deep appreciation for the vintage sounds of Japanese Hi-Fi from its golden era (1970s-1990s). My goal is to share the joy of this exceptional audio experience with everyone at an affordable price.
I believe that local Japanese technicians possess superior technical knowledge and have better access to parts; plus with me being here in Japan allows me to effectively bridge any language barriers. On my channel, you can listen to the vintage sound before making a purchase, ensuring you know exactly what to expect. I curate audiophile tracks and records specifically for demonstration purposes, allowing you to hear the true sound each unit can deliver.
All equipment is meticulously double or triple packed and shipped using local EMS for safe delivery. Please note that all amplifiers are rated for local Japanese voltage (AC 100V), so you will need either a step-up or step-down transformer to match your local power supply.
PS. I will not list it on eBay or Shopify – since these platforms takes a huge commission. You save right away 10-15% off the market price.
