[net.audio] Replying to Nikko Questions.

	I have had some experience with Nikko Amps, both fo the home and
for high-fidelity touring applications.  Get the Alpha 220 or 440.
They are very well behaved, and quite tolerant of odd loads.<If it
gets too bad, they will shut themselves off quite neatly, instead of
sending out huge bursts of oscillation.>  They have
been not only very good sounding amps (the one in my lab
is still better than .01% after having the () beaten out of it.)
I have been using Nikko Alpha 440's in the place of Crown DC300's and
PSA-2's, and have had very few problems.

	As far as the pre-amp- I would go with the Technics micro
SU-?? or something like that, if it'sstill available.  The NEW
Nikko preamps aren't bad though.

I have no experience with the tuners.
