Hello out there ! Just joined yesterday.
I became re-interested in old fisher tube equipment recently after I set up some EV regency's, with reconed drivers etc. I was disapointed with the sound from them and wondered why - I was using a late model receiver.
My first hifi experience was with fisher tube equipment when I was kid in the 60's/70's. My dad had a fisher 400 preamp and SA-100 powering some home built base reflex cabinets using EV speakers. I remember him tuning the ports using a frequency generator and a volt ohm meter ! I would kill to have his old fisher stuff, my brother pitched it over 20 years ago :thumbsdn: :tears:. Long gone!
Dad's gone but Mom still has the home built EV cabinets ! :thmbsp:
Anyway, I now have an X 202B and an FM 100B which craig at NOS valves rebuilt, which are running the regency's. What a difference - The sound and feel is back which I missed for going on 30 years. :tresbon:
I'll be lurking around asking questions every so often. Looking forward to some fun discussions !
