seti Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I rebuilt a Fisher X-100 and since it sounded so good I decided to keep it. Then I got a case but the faceplate was trashed. Ive been playing with the FrontPanel Express cad software and designed a new faceplate. Easy to learn just lots of editing. Check it out. I can't recommend them enough for only $100.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subway Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Very impressive! Old-style/first-version knobs. I have several Fisher items also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the el84 version. I love fisher gear. I'll catch heat but I'd take it over mcintosh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subway Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 These guys liked Fisher and used Klipsch Chorus in some test systems: VTV issues : http://www.enjoythemusic.com/diy/0414/vacuum_tube_valley.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subway Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 6 minutes ago, veloceleste said: I ran a Fisher X100B (7868 output tubes) and a Fisher FM50B tuner with Fortes 1 and II’s as well as Chorus II’s and they were all great together. Fantastic midrange and good bass and treble. It was completely un-restored but was dead quiet and fully functional. I can only imagine how much better it would sound updated. Sweet! Me: X1000 or SA300 (el-34) with Forte II or Chous II and FM100. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
