In the interest of keeping the server uncluttered(yeah right!), Take mhardry6647's picture and change the FISHER to an 800-C and it could be mine.
To TRY and answer playittwice's question, I have the 1000A and 800-C(sameas a 500-C but add an AM tuner section to it). I prefer either of them to my Solid State Receivers. Mainly because that's what i grew up with, in my formative years. I don't really know what it is about them that i like more than the Solid State gear, but I find myself playing my tube gear almost exclusively. Consoles, receivers, amps, etc. They all have a sound that's hard to describe, at least for me. But the gear HAS TO BE OVERHAULED to bring it up to at least original spec so you can hear what they are supposed to sound like. Time share wise, my Solid State gear gets about 2 weeks a year (total time for it all), mainly to keep the caps charged, and pots and switches limber. Other than that, I'm playing tube gear, either the 1000A or the 800-C in the living room with consoles all over the house playing at different times.
