Just picked up an old school rodek 280i,160 watts
2 channel.
Does anyone know anything about this amp? Specs wise, what its capable of?
Is this a good amp for sound quality?

TIA,Mike

Got it for $100 good deal?
Its got a linear tilt gain on it, is that just a fancy name for bass boost?
Would it likely be 80 watts per channel @ 2ohms or 4 ohms?
Is it even stable @ 2 ohms stereo? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
