Item Description

Up for sale is a very rare 1973 Harman Kardon 930, the absolute top-of-the-line (TOTL) model from this legendary series which competes with some of the absolute best, holy grail of receivers from Pioneer, Sansui, etc. Cosmetically and operationally, this HK 930 is an easy 9 out of 10 (with 10 being brand-new)—an incredible score considering this is a 53-year-old pampered receiver that has only had one previous owner. It features the highly coveted "Twin Power" dual-mono design built with two completely separate power transformers—one dedicated to each channel. This premium engineering delivers spectacular stereo separation, incredible sonic depth, and a conservative 45 watts per channel that easily punches with the authority of a much higher-powered modern amplifier, which will wake up most any speaker.

This pristine unit comes housed in a beautiful, custom-made walnut cabinet that is in excellent condition and adds immense vintage aesthetic value. Buyers can bid with absolute peace of mind: this receiver was professionally serviced and cleaned within the past year by Magnetic Tape Recorder, Inc. in Louisville, Kentucky—widely regarded as the premier vintage stereo service and repair hub in the Midwest. Built in Japan during the true golden age of hi-fi, this freshly maintained, near-mint 930 offers unmatched performance, independent Left/Right tone controls, and warm, detailed musicality.
