Got me an early xmas present.

[michaelsamra]

Last year it was a Scott 4310 for 1650 and this year its this Fisher 400cx.
I think I did ok being its pretty clean other than a face plate scratch.

Grats!

Two years ago one of these went up on CL, $200 OBO.
Needless to say I call, fast as I could. Well we know the rest of the story. I saw one go up on Epay one week later, and it wasn't me.

Very nice!

Cool. Gotta love early Christmas presents to self.

 

[Big Bill]

Congrats Mike!

I'll be interested to hear a comparison from Mikey about a Fisher 400CX vs. an Harman Kardon Citation I and/or Citation IV.

Guys
lets hope it gets here in one piece from Minn to Mich.

The 400CX is on my "Really Want One" list. :drool:

I will admit this is purely based on esthetics.

Ouch, I think I helped on increase final price on this fine 400CX.
Let us know how it sound.

For some reason, I can't make myself want a vintage tube preamp.

How about an Audio Research SP3-1A? They're getting to be vintage

Would that include the Pilot 215 and 216, the Lafayette KT-600, the Scott 130, the McIntosh C22? As well as Cit I and Fisher 400CX2?

Cheers

Those would all be on my list of preamps I'd love to get a great deal on and flip immediately but wouldn't become part of my system.

You forgot the Marantz 7, .

I can't make myself want to service a vintage tube audio piece, or any tube audio item of any kind, as much as I would like to listen to any or all tube gear. What a cunundrum. I guess if tubes become a choice I accept I'd better learn tube rolling or employ a competent tech.

 

[gadget73]

I'm kind of the opposite. I can't imagine buying a new piece of tube gear and just plugging it in. I actually enjoy the repair work though, so having the experience of fixing something and then putting it in use is far more satisfying to me personally than just buying it.

 

[dnewma04]

My reservations have nothing to do with potential repairs.

 

[audiodon]

So, what would you like to get dnewma04? Is it tube? Does it have a remote?
Those are the two things I'm looking for. Doesn't have to be balanced.
