[Sherwood S-5000 integrated tube amplifier.]

Or warm the house -- ever wonder why tubes survived in Russia?

Undervalued, by how much: Mine was free from the NYC trash, but a replacement is going to be dicey, esp if you include shipping. I am considering just ripping it down completely, and learning how to test components to rebuild it. I have two other projects queued.

I am doing all my work on my Wikiersity HiFi page

I absolutely love the top-shot, what a nicely decorated amp.

I have a Sherwood 8000 that I believe is the same amp with the addition of a tuner (it uses the same tubes). Unfortunately, five years was all I got out of the amp, and it is snapping, popping, sometimes shutting off completely, so it is out of service, which is a problem because my Yamaha Natural amp, which cost many $$$, sounds like a tin can connected to a string in comparison.
