Pye HFS-30T (c. 1964–65)
Surviving documentation on the Pye HFS-30T is thin - essentially a couple of period reports - but they fix the essentials. A report from Pye's demonstration at the International Audio Festival & Fair noted that the Brahms HFS30T, shown in prototype the previous year, had reached production. It was rated at 15 watts per channel and offered in a rosewood cabinet or as a bare chassis. The report already regarded it as a notable step forward (Audio Collection, 1964, p.104). It was part of Pye's new Brahms range, displayed alongside the continuing Mozart line.
A full test report followed in September 1965. It photographed the amplifier in a walnut case and reproduced a circuit diagram of the design (Amateur Tape Recorder, September 1965, p.29). The measured figures from that report don't survive in usable form in the archive's copy, so specific performance numbers are not available.
What's firmly documented:
- Stereo amplifier (Pye Brahms range)
- Rated output: 15 W per channel
- Rosewood cabinet or chassis form (test unit shown in walnut case)
- Displayed at the International Audio Festival & Fair in 1964
Beyond that, the record is essentially silent.
