Half-width SEPP DC amplifier taking from the TA-3120A but pushing it to the limit :

skyrocketing 300Khz frequency response, very high 180 damping factor and 110dB s/n ratio !

Compared to other contemporary home audio amps, the 3060 was true science-fiction.

Inside is big EI transformer, two grey plastic-potted caps and two back-to-back heatsinks each holding a pair of output transistors.


Launched in Canada in july 1970 ; following it would be the TA-3130F (september 1970) and TA-3140F (june 1971).

Then, after the bestselling TA-3200F (november 1972), separates-wise, would be time for the ESII series : TAN-8550, TAN-5550 and TAN-8250.

If the TA-3120 and TA-3120A are very common, the 3060 is much more rare.

This is not an amp that you will see too often. It is from the 1970 era. Power output is rated at 30 watts per channel but it certainly sounds and feels like a whole lot more as it has a really good sized power supply. It has input level controls
It works very well.

Note : Cosmetics are very good considering its age.



These amps have a nice warm, smooth presentation and three dimensional,
Although they don't have that nice tube bloom I prefer,
the TA-3060 has many tube-like qualities like warm tone,
very good frequency extension and good detail.
