In audiophile terms, those few 0.05 parts being not so good make them sound like poo. In stock form, those few parts needing changing. Maybe Ill send the B-3s out for a Crites recap. Nikko circuits take little modification to make them sound great.
From what Ive read and heard, it would cost a thousand dollars plus to improve upon the Nikko sound. But to my surprise, I plugged it in and flipped the switch, and it powered on just fine. Most of that equipment was busted, so I expected this to be.
I can only turn up the Alpha 220 to about 9:00 with the Cornwalls as they are incredibly efficient. Long story short, I was given a Nikko Alpha II power amplifier as payment for helping my friend move a literal truckload of stereo equipment, but thats a story for another post.

Im fearful of what an Alpha 440 would sound like (220 wpc vs 120 wpc). Nikko Alpha 450 very rare and beautiful vintage stereo amplifier.
