    Valve Matching For Fisher X-100 A

    There is a missing 7189 valve as part of the output stage for the Fisher. I'm looking to order one online (tung-sol from Russia) where they say you can order a matched pair. Is it important to get a matched pair? Thanks Dan

    Hot Weather Tube Based System AKA Analog Room #1

    I have had this SET 45 amp for around 6 or 7 weeks, not much power but on the right recordings WOW. The Hot weather part is this amp does not get hot I can touch the output tubes while playing, the Fisher 400-C pre, also does not get hot.

    Fisher R-20 output frequency range

    I recently purchased a 1958 Fisher console with an R-20 tube amp. I’d like to upgrade the speakers but I don’t know the frequency range that I should target for the woofer and tweeter. Is there a source for Fisher tube amp specifications available? I haven’t had any luck finding one so far.

    Fisher 800c Alternate Tube

    I was looking at the schematic for the Fisher 800c and thinking about tube alternates. Has anyone ever tried to use a 7427 / 12DW7 right in front of the output tubes? Pins 678 are the 12ax7 and pins 123 line up with the 12au7. Im thinking that would be perfect as a gain followed by a driver...
