Angeboten wird „Alpha 220“ von Nikko Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1933997007 endet am 29.09.2026 um 13:52 Uhr.
A solid vintage power amp, but the asking price is a bit on the rich side for this market. With a median of €351 and a 75th percentile of €375 from the recent comparable EUR listings, €400 sits above the usual upper-end asking range, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair.
What makes it interesting is the kind of no-nonsense, high-current stereo amp that can still make a very capable system feel more authoritative and controlled than many modern budget options. If it’s genuinely clean, fully working, and ideally includes original packaging or documentation, there’s still real buyer appeal here; just make sure there’s no evidence of scratchy controls, relay issues, or past repair work, because at €400 the condition really needs to justify the premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nikko Audio emerged from Nikko Electric Industry Co., founded in 1933 in Kanagawa, Japan, initially as a manufacturer of fuses and electrical equipment for the national railroad. Post-World War II, the company expanded into communications technology, entering the hi-fi market in the late 1960s through the influence of an audiophile family member with exceptional hearing. This Japanese heritage fueled a brief but notable run of precision-engineered audio components before the brand shuttered its audio division amid the 1990s market downturn.
The brand focused primarily on amplifiers, producing standout series like the Alpha line of power amps from the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the high-end TRM series, including the 1975 TRM-800 integrated stereo amplifier with its robust 65 watts per channel output, NEC power transistors, and stability down to 4 ohms. Tuners such as the FAM-600 and compact hi-fi gear rounded out their compact-form-factor offerings, emphasizing clean circuit design and no-frills power over expansive categories like speakers, turntables, or modern digital components.
Today, Nikko holds a cherished position among vintage collectors, prized for its build quality and dynamic sound that rivals contemporaries from more prominent Japanese marques. Though limited in distribution during its era, these components endure as attainable high-fidelity treasures, evoking the golden age of Japanese amplification engineering.
