ZEUS121996 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I got this Fisher 500c back from Craig at NOSVALVES in April. He did a $435 complete overhaul of the receiver. This receiver sounds as good as it looks. $800 plus shipping for Klipsch forum members, I also have it listed in Craigslist Chicago and on the bay. If you need more pictures or have questions, please ask. Thank you Mark Edited February 12, 2014 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Nice receiver. I'm a huge fan of Fisher products. My collection is growing... Jason, let us know how you like it if you are buying it. If Craig at NOS re-did it, then it should be excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fisher was my first receiver, should have kept it, made a custom Mahogany cabinet for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Jason offered me a table tuba sub as a trade, and I'm ok with the M+K MX-100 sub I have in play right now. Its a bad time of year for selling, but I'm moving in a different direction, hopefully for the last time. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobman Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I had Craig clean up my 500c a few years ago. He did a great job. It is excellent and now in daily use. I have a 300b and a Monarchy SM70 as amps also, but I just love the sound of the 500c overall. I alternate driving my RB5's or the Silverline Sonata 2's. (The RB5's give the Sonata's a good run for the money. Just not as deep in the bass) I would not sell the 500c. I know the value has gone up considerably since I bought mine, but when a component works and you are happy with it, why change? (and this from a guy who shuffled gear in & out like a mover) Edited March 12, 2014 by Jobman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Vintage audio offers something for everyone. It's an affordable entry point for those new to the audio hobby. It's ideal for second systems or modest living spaces. Best of all, it gives us gray-haired hi-fi veterans a respite from the spiraling expenses of new gear, and it can offer the intrepid audio explorer sonic performance that I feel can be comparable to that offered by modern gear. The era of vintage audio, roughly 1965 through 1970, comprised the gilded age of hi-fi and the ripe years of RCA Living Stereo and Mercury Living Presence records. This era of audio embodies the work of such names as Saul Marantz, Hermon Hosmer Scott, Rudy Bozak, James B. Lansing, Paul Klipsch, David Hafler, and Henry Kloss—dead guys with ears. These guys used the absolute best minds available to design and engineer sonic marvels that have stood the test of time as icons in a world now dominated by home theater.

ZEUS121996 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I haven't tried out the headphones, but the work Craig does is top notch and I cant believe he wouldnt pass that over. I will plug some in and let you know how it turns out. Thank you Mark Edited February 13, 2014 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Joe, The headphone draw signal from output section of the amplifier circuit the same as speakers. No components that would every need replacement exists in the circuit. Basically it consists of a jack and a couple resistors.... I always plug a set of cans in to confirm operation so they should work just fine. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorm Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Craig did a terrific job on my 500c. Sounds phenomenal with my super Cornscalas. Probably the best tube receiver you can buy in terms of sound quality without having to jump into the thousands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
