Amber Amps, Preamps & Tuners
« on: 2 Dec 2017, 12:31 am »
I co-founded Amber Electronics, a 'high-value / high-end' 1980s company that made the Series 70 Amp, Model 17 Preamp, and Model 7 FM tuner.  If you remember them ... smile!   :D

Keith - welcome.  Used to have an Amber Series 70 many moons ago.  We met at a stereo store event in East Windsor, NJ when I bought the amp (probably had brown hair back then and more of it - at least that's my story :lol:).

I remember them in Stereophile a long time ago. Was somewhat interested in getting one but never did.

Greetings, I had the Amber in the 80's amp but we actually used it as a PA amp in our church for many years.  :icon_lol:

I’ve owned 2 of the amps :) 

And sold them for awhile.

I sold a lot of Amber 70's back then, never a complaint from anyone.

Welcome!

Holy Crap Kieth!

The model 17 preamp was one of my favorite components ever. Have to curse at you a bit about the Board mounted RCA connectors though. That was the only reason I sold the thing. I could permanently fix it now; but wasn’t capable back in the day.

So glad to see you here.  :thumb:

Looking forward to reading some of your posts and what you have been up to lately.

Warmest regards,

I remember the amp and preamp :D.

But I don’t recall anything about an Amber tuner.  :scratch:

Hello and welcome to AC, Keith.  I also have fond memories of my Amber Series 70 amp.

But what ever happened to Keith?
I had hopes he would e a contributing member here. The guy made some great stuff back in the day.
Be nice to know what he has been up to lately.
