The way it was packed I really don't think this kind of damage accured during shipping the box would of showed damage. It was packed very well. Double boxed and double bubble wrapped with foam acorns every where. I really think the seller may have dropped it while he was packing it but this is just a hunch. Also what about the static above 5 ?? In his listing he said he listened to it for 3 hours without any problem. I guess this could of been caused by whoever dropped it. What do you think about the static ?

Well received my Scott 222c today and it looks like I have mdeneen luck. First of either the seller dropped it while packaging it or UPS dropped the box. Although the box really doesn't show any major damage that would make me believe they dropped it. So the brushed copper face plate is bent on one end pretty bad. Also to make matters worse although it works if you turn it up anymore than 5 on the volume control it send massive static to the speakers and does this using the Phone inputs with a TT or the Extra inputs with a CD player. I believe it is outputing static below 5 just not as bad. When turning it over 5 the volume doesn't seem to rise the sound just gets over taken by static but not louder. What a bummer . I have emailed the seller to see what his response will be. All I know is I'm not paying 244.00 shipped for this POS.

Well I hope my HH Scott is one of those juicy ones LOL !!!! Did anyone notice what the Fisher has gotten up too so far ? Its already at 255.00 and has 2 1/2 day's to go. Anyone notice the sets of Heresy's for sale there's a couple nice sets up for grabs. There also I nice set of La scala's for someone in sacramento the guy doesn't want to ship them there at 500.00 and have been for day's. T bad i'm 2500 miles from there.

Justin I believe you need to use RGB to get progressive scan to work.

I have a 5 year old 32" sony also and agree that anything over a 43" seems to loose alot of Picture quality. I've been doing the same thing as you. Just can't seem to decide what to get. My HT roon is only 12' X 12' so I believe that a 43" wide screen is all I need. I think that HDTV ready at the very least is a must myself. I wouldn't bother even looking at anything else myself. Well good luck and let us know what you end up with and how it looks in your HT room. I believe most of the sets on display at stores have been messed with by customers to much to know how they really are going to look once you have one.

Yea the info never ends from Mobile Homeless. I have another Question. How did you arrive at your handle there must be a story behind it ? Inquiring minds want to know This message has been edited by NOS440 on 01-04-2002 at 11:37 AM

Oh and wish me luck on the Scott 222c I bought it for $225 the guy asures me it works perfect. Only time will tell.

mobile homeless Where is VTV ??

mdeneen Thanks for your words of caution. Luckily I have access to all the equipment you mentioned even oscilloscope my dad restores ham equipment and has for years he even has a ton of audio tubes that I need to look thru and see what treasures he may have. Of coarse I'll need to know what I'm looking for first LOL !! This message has been edited by NOS440 on 01-03-2002 at 03:35 PM

Well I think I'm going to grab that 222c and give it a whirl. Like Allan said I could alway's resell it if it doesn't turn me on. I just have to try the tube route and see what you guy's are all talking about. My dad has been a Ham Operator and restorer for years and he agrees with you all that tubes are way better for sound. I will have to see for myself. Thanks for your help guy's. Oh and Mobile I will still be looking for a EICO like yours so if you see one drop me a line .

I don't really care for using it. It would I think make it worth more if I had it is all. So you think 225.00 is a good deal ?

One more thing shouldn't that 222c have a cover for it ?

Allan Songer You say there a great phono amps. What about using them for CDs and other souces are they still good ?? Do they incorparate a phone stage in the AMP ? I would guess yes.

Mobil homeless what about this one is it what your talking about in a scott ?? Is it worth his buy it now price ?? would I need a Preamp for TT use ? Scott 222c The only thing I see flaky on it is the power cord looks like sh!t LOL !!!!!!!! But that can be fixed I'm sure. This message has been edited by NOS440 on 01-03-2002 at 01:42 PM

mobile homeless What do you think of the Scott unit I linked to above ?? Your Opinion is Important to me. Also check out this Fisher what ya think. Scott unit Fisher Unit Oh and your HF-81 looks Awesome !! This message has been edited by NOS440 on 01-03-2002 at 12:56 PM

Found something that looks cool what ya think of this Linkage

Oh and currently there are 2 EICO ST-40's on Ebay. What do you think of these ? ST-40 #1 St-40 #2

Thanks mobile homeless and edster00. I pretty much have decided to wait and see if I can score a EICO HF-81. I will let you know when I find one to let you check it out for me. Again thanks. I also checked out that link to the Antique Sound Labs MGSI 15DT-S. I checked out some of the others and you can really blow some cheese on Amps some are in the thousands WOW !!!!!!!!

Thanks that looks like a nice Unit but a little more than I'm willing to spend right now. I was thinking I could score a HF-81 for 200 or less if I hold out. Or am I being unrealistic.

Of coarse currently there are none of the one's you listed on Ebay. But I will keep my eyes peeled. Thanks Also what else will I need say if I get the EICO HF-81 to listen to music. Or say I get a couple mono blocks what else is required ?

What about the Antique Sound Labs Wav 8 mono blocks. Any good for a newbie to try out tubes ??

Okay all you guy's with your tube amp discussions have peaked my interest's. I have heard that the EICO HF-81 is a awesome Amp. What about the EICO ST-40 and ST-70 are they any good ?? I'm completely new to this and anything else that you guy's can add to this would be greatly Appreciated. I'm going to use it to power a set of Heresy II's that I'm going to get soon.

No problem I got thru and have been reading his rants. There pretty cool

Yea I couldn't find any Info at all on that number anywhere on there sight.
