It's a little known (at least here in the US) 60 WPC line level amp without tone or balance controls and no heaphone jack. It really sounds sweet. I picked one off ebay for $50!. They seem to be rare here in the US but were popular overseas in the early 90's. I has the famous dynamic HK sound but with an increase in midrange and high frequency clarity from other HK products from that time period. Dennis |

Both look identical and the review is spot on from the findings. Note that the pic in the review is of the Marantz cd17. Here is a pic from my Audiocircle gallery. The amp pictured isn't mine. http://www.audiocircle.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1644&pos=5 |

I was going to buy a new Cambridge Audio Azure and the dealer promised the huge old HK was better. I googled it and learned that it cost about $1400 new. It is my bedroom system. |

New member Username: TubeytubeampPost Number: 4 Registered: Jan-06 | Kevin, I think the 6950r was the flagship of the range prior to the amp I have. HK's amps from the late 80's and early 90's seem to be real sleepers. How is the phono section in your amp? Dennis |

Bronze Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 91 Registered: Jul-07 | The seller said phono was good. Because it has a lot of inputs on the back I chose to use it for the bedroom because the wife has her Sony Wega and DVD, and cable box set up there. Her budget 2 chanel home theater. I should carry the turntable in there and test it out. I have been looking for a good deal on another integrated amp for my turntable. Looking online. |
