Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and nickel, and the higher the ratio of chromium and nickel, the higher the quality and quality of the stainless steel. The stainless steel used in Astro Electronics has a blending ratio of 18-18. Common stainless steel cutlery is 18-8, 18-10, which is said to be quite high quality cutlery, so Astro Denshi's stainless steel chassis is considered to be quite a luxury item.

The thickness of stainless steel is 2 mm and 3 mm (VIP, SP, MK series), which is quite thick.
By bending extremely hard stainless steel using a special technique, we are able to create a sturdy, seamless chassis that is a characteristic of Astro Electronics.
This sturdy and beautiful chassis, combined with its weight (which is very heavy), provides excellent vibration damping and vibration isolation.
At this point, the price is considerable, and for a full-sized amplifier, the chassis alone costs about 200,000 yen! ! It also becomes.
