Bill,
I recently had an HH Scott receiver rebuilt, the 340a, and would rather buy a finished newer product next time around.
I heard a pair of the M500s at a local Hifi store and was taken by them so I bought a pair and had them modded some.
I have been advised to avoid older solid state equipment. Circuitry concerns I believe. Another fellow whose opinion
I also value likes tube preamps with ss amps so this is the direction I am focused on at this point. I want a lot
of power as I recently heard the Quad 2905s and they are power hungry. So basically I would love something that will work
with both the Quads and the Altecs but the future is more likely the Quads.
Is there more on Barter Town than I will see on US Audio, Audiogon and eBay?
Damac,
Thanks for the tip on the MC225 amp. I read up on that and it sounds extremely very intriguing. However I have a receiver of the same
vintage which also produces 25wpc and runs on 4 x 7591 tubes. The Mac is no doubt a step up but in the end would likely
seem to be too much of the same. I do hope to find one to listen to.
