Rick J B Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Finally decided to hook the old war horse up and see what she sounds like. Dang, have only listened for about 2 hours, but hey, she sounds quite nice. Much better than I would have guessed, especially considering I was worried it might blow up when I turned it on. Anyway, its over here in the corner amongst the boneyard with a cheap DVD player going through it playing on the little Klipsch SB-1 book shelf speaks. I hate to say it, but this sounds sweeter and more musical than the big Sansui and Marantz receivers I've picked up recently. Not near as much power, but really nice on the ears. Thus far I've played some Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick J B Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Um, that should read Stereomaster, sorry. Also, this is a SS unit, from 1967. One of Scott's first SS units. Edited October 12, 2014 by Rick J B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent T Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, and these old HH Scott warhorses are superb for Klipsch speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick J B Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes, and these old HH Scott warhorses are superb for Klipsch speakers. I'm also finding that they are largely ignored. Not sure why, they sound nice and can be had cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent T Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I own their FM tuner from this era, the much ignored and underrated 312D. I love old pre 1973 HH Scott gear in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, their tuners in those days were very good. This was sort of a problem because they insisted on sticking the same one in most products regardless of price point. It really hurt the profitability of a lot of their receivers. That and styling issues and poor marketing led to the companies demise in 1973. Damn shame, they made great gear.
