Re: HARA M-180 "The New Era" (mods & maintenance)

Something else which surprised me is that the Hara M-180 has more powerful internal amplifier than the later Vanrock lathes.
Specifically the Hara M-180 use an SI-1010G (10W , THd=0.5% at Full Power) while the Vanrock use an STK011 (6.5W , THd=2% at Full Power).
