I wonder if the difference would be huge...never owned anything "big" before my own pair of RF7-II's + RC64-II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie I have an older Yamaha Rx-V receiver but am either going to purchase a Yamaha RX-A3030 or a Denon 4520CI in the next week or 2....struggling with which one to buy. Denon seems to be more popular and has a better THD rating but I really like yamaha products....used them for years Edited October 29, 2013 by quakana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Yamaha RX-Z11 right now for home theater and for music I switch to an old LK-72 Scott tube amp and it sounds a 1000 times better.

Looks like the LK-72 can be had for around 700 or so Edited October 30, 2013 by quakana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Craig is the guy to talk with, He actually builds custom tube amps and Pre-amps so he knows his stuff. Thats "about" what you can usually get one from him for, already re-built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Do these older AMPS sound better than the newer ones like Mcintosh? Looks like the LK-72 can be had for around 700 or so The vintage Scott and Fisher integrated amps are a great way to get yourself 80% of the way to tube heaven. The great part is they command great resale value with little end cost for using them upon resale. I love vintage McIntosh but personally I don't care much for the modern McIntosh tube gear they just do not perform like the yesteryear models once the vintage Mac's have been brought up to snuff. You have to put things in perscpetive. You can get into rebuilt Scott or Fisher for $700 to $1100 total expense depending on model and condition with a quality rebuild. You are never going to get into a McIntosh tube rig for less then about 5 grand vintage or newer...I personally believe for 5 grand you can do much better sonically then McIntosh. Heck its so easy to sale them I give 100% trade in value toward my newer custom gear to my customers that purchase them or reasonable close to total investment trade in value if they send there own amplifier for a rebuild and want to trade it in later. I can not give 100% trade in if they purchase the amp elsewhere and just have me rebuild it I have no control over some of these crazy bidding war prices on ebay. If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
