Onix

[southall-1998]

Onix OA21. Looks a little run down on the outside. But just look at those innards

Pity, if this had an inbuilt headphone stage/socket I'd have been tempted.

They made two external power supplies for it ("soap"), apparently either of them further improved this amp.

Their early "shoe box" amps were built like tanks (no experience of their later models), but I think that they didn't stay in business because they were not charging enough for them.

I couldn't quite afford the OA21 at the time as I was newly married and trying to get used to a mortgage So I bought the cheaper OA20; Still in use nearly 30 years later. I have a great deal of respect/love for their early offerings. I think that they are being re-launched as "onix dna" being made in the far east somewhere.

Never sold the Onix brand, but OA21's that came along for dems always sounded lovely I remember and these were not with the add-on supply either.

Interesting, auction has been ended by seller. Perhaps he saw sense!
