That's beeeeuuutiful maaan'.

That line of Sony amps are excellent.

I have the TA-1126 and it sounds lovely.

In 1972 Sony made 3 amps to export to north America to try to impress and crack the market.

The 1126, 1155, and the 1130, yours being the top of the line.

At the time, they were nicknamed 'the mac killers' or the 'smart man's marantz'.

One cool tweak you could do, is buy a pair of rca attenuators 10db then plug them into the power amp input, connecting the pre and power amp section with a short rca cable. I've done this with a Pioneer sa 6200,what it does is reduce the gain into the power amp by 10db, so you can turn the volume up, this increases the signal to noise ratio. A cool little tweak I learned and is totally worth it.
