You will get no takers at $80.... Or, if there are any residual brains
in this world, $8.


Many people value the sound that an old tube receiver provides . Most modern
receivers are crap when it comes to audiophile audio, they are geared
primarily for multichannel decoding of movies.


This is true. But there's a big difference between a real tube amp with
decent output transformers and this Pioneer junk.

I think I would take a nice old Fisher 400 any day of the week!
I suspect one would go for about 1/4 of this asking price.

Actually, $80 is about fair for a Fisher 400 in decent shape. The nice
thing about the 400 is that it uses readily-available 7868 output tubes
rather than the 7591s that some of the other Fisher receivers use.
(There is a Russian 7591 equivalent which sounds good, but it's taller
than the real thing, and too tall to close the case on a Fisher 500).

The 7868 isn't the most linear thing around, but it's not half bad and
those Fishers had surprisingly good output transformers.

Yes. They will make a silverface Deluxe/Deluxe Reverb perform great.

You can use them in homebrew hi fi as well.
