Uit de kenmerkende vintage sony serie (ta1650 t/m 8650). De sony ta-2650 versterker en de bijbehorende tuner de st-2950. Een fijne versterker waar u ook prima een platenspeler op aan kunt aansluiten.
€279 is a touch above the €261 median and still below the €288 75th percentile, so this reads as fair-to-slightly-strong rather than expensive. It is not a bargain at the €197 25th percentile level, but it is close enough to the center of the market that the price looks reasonable for a clean example.
This is a worthwhile buy if you want a classic Sony integrated with the usual vintage appeal: solid build, straightforward usability, and the kind of understated performance that makes older Sony amps easy to live with. At this price, I’d mainly want confirmation of smooth controls, stable channel balance, and no hum or scratchiness, since age-related servicing matters more than cosmetic perfection on a piece like this.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
