First seen at the London Audio Fair in the spring of 1964, the TSA 100 stereo amplifier heralded a departure for Truvox from their well-established tape recorder range. It was also one of the first all-transistor amplifiers made in Britain.

Front panel facilities included a 5-position input selector, dual ganged bass and treble controls, balance control, combined volume and /Off switch, mono/stereo switch, tape monitor switch, scratch and rumble filters and a headphone output which disconnected the loudspeaker automatically.

Rated at 10, 12.5 and 15 watts RMS at 15, 8 and 4 respectively with less than 0.25% distortion at full power, the TSA 100 was priced at £51 9s. At present early solid-state amplifiers are not considered collectible and/or valuable and so this attractive amplifier would be a bargain for any first-time collector. Probable value around the £50 - £80 mark if in good condition.

See the 1964 test report for more details.
