Harman Kardon HK440 VXi High Current Stereo Receiver - Clean, Tested & Serviced (Made in Japan)

Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage Harman Kardon HK440 VXi High Current Stereo Receiver. This unit has been thoroughly bench-tested, cleaned, and serviced to ensure flawless mechanical and sonic performance.

True to Harman Kardon’s legendary engineering philosophy, the HK440 VXi features a High Current Capability (HCC) amplifier stage. While conservatively rated at 30 watts per channel, its high-current design allows it to easily outperform standard receivers, delivering incredibly tight bass transients, an open soundstage, and effortless dynamics even when pushing difficult 4-ohm speaker loads.

CONDITION & PERFORMANCE:

- Mechanical: 100% functional. All pots, switches, and inputs have been treated with DeoxIT for scratch-free, quiet operation. Tuning tracking holds strong and stereo separation is excellent.
