y2keglide Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just hooked my new to me HH Scott tube set (just serviced with new tubes and re-capped) with my recently acquired '72 Klipsch Khorns and holly mother of God this set sounds fantastic! Hooked up my just serviced and with a new stylus Marantz turntable with a clean vinyl copy of Pink Floyd Dark Side and wow just wow! I'm a happy camper tonight! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm sure it sounds great. I once tried my Scott 130 pre with a 208 using Cornwalls and that sound really good. Is the 355 basically a 130 with a tuner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDJohnson Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Enjoy. I own a restored Scott 299C + restored Klipschorns and they sound great together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once tried my Scott 130 pre with a 208 using Cornwalls and that sound really good. Is the 355 basically a 130 with a tuner? I have no idea but I found this looking for specs. The 355 was introduced as a more versatile replacement for the older 399; as such, it was the only Stereo Preamp-Tuner product ever produced by Scott. As a Tuner/Preamp (similar to the older 331-series) the 355 had no basic power amplifier section like the 399 Receiver. Instead the 355 provided a cathode follower, line-level, preamp out -- Just add the basic power amp of your choice, usually a Scott Type 208, but Mac's and Dyna's were also popular choices. The 355 added true FM-MPX stereo reception utilizing the 350/335 decoder design, incorporating the "Stereo Guide," 6AV6 tube indicator. As "Simulcast Stereo" was becoming obsolete, the 355 was the only Scott AM/FM tuner to share a (very rare) common circular tuning dial. Scott engineers cleverly resurrected the 300/320 tuning gang, but thankfully left the more complex dial-cord string and slide-rule dial inventory untouched. To accommodate a matching power amp; Scott offered the optional, 208 Power Amp; a modular piggy-back, design derived from the 7591-based 299-C amp. All audio connections, accessory AC, and antenna jacks were top-mounted on the shortened chassis, to facilitate the matching 208 "piggy-back" package. 18 tubes: 6-tube, Pre-Amplifier section: (4) 12AX7 - preamps (1) 12AU7 - cathode follower (1) 6CA4 rectifier 5-tube, FM Tuner section: (1) 6BS8/6BQ7 - FM RF amp (1) 6U8A FM mixer (3) 6AU6 (shared w/AM) 5-tube, MPX section (1) 6AV6 (6GX8) ("Stereo Guide") (1) 6BL8 - MPX (2) 12AU7 - MPX (1) 12AT7 - MPX 2-tube, AM Tuner section: (1) 6BA6 AM RF Amp (1) 6BE6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
