This rare vintage Proton 950 Stereo Receiver features dual mono transformers and is built like a tank. Although rated at "only" 50 wpc into 8 ohms, it has plenty of power and easily drives my Paradigm Studio 20 v3s with excellent low-end punch and detailed upper mids and treble. The phono stage is outstanding and even includes selectable cartridge capacitance.Proton was the manufacturer of the early NAD integrated amps and receivers, and reportedly used better internal components for their own gear. All functions are working well, and cosmetics are very good overall with zero blemishes on the faceplate. This unit is rated conservatively at 7/10 due to its age and is being sold AS-IS with no returns. Cash and local pickup is preferred.
