Special features

The most powerful model of the Harman PM series. Typical problem: scratching, noise and partial failure of the channels due to oxidized switches. Power transistors as spare parts are only available to a very limited extent. Elkos usually no problem. One of the best integrated amplifiers that were built with an incredible amount of "steam and pressure" and a very good phono preamp. Even today, he does not have to hide from significantly more expensive noble devices.
