Sherwood A-965 7-CH Amplifier

This Sherwood Newcastle A-965 is in great shape with tones
of hidden quality for its age. Don’t under estimate its strengths.

Manufacturer's
Description:


1050 Watt 7 Channel Main AmplifierThe A-965 is a 7-channel, 80-pound,
independent main amp designed specifically for low impedance loads. With a
power supply that contains two huge toroidal power transformers and the
capability to unleash greater than a kilowatt of output power—the A-965 could
easily be used as a poster boy for the concept of “High Current.” But there is
more to this amp than brute force. Each channel, from gold-plated input to
heavy duty output, is built on a separate circuit board as an independent mono
block, a design which minimizes cross-talk (and facilitates repair in the
unlikely event that should become necessary). The discrete circuitry utilizes
PNP differential input, Darlington current driver and parallel,
pure-complementary, push-pull output. The results? The A-965 has the delicacy
to limit its Intermodulation Distorion to only 7 parts in 100,000 (0.007% IMD)
yet with all channels driven, the A-965 delivers 160 Watts x 7 at any
combination of frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz with less than 0.09% THD..
