fisher 800-c tube reciever


recently i got a 800-c tube reciever for free and put $120 into getting it running. can anyone tell me how this piece rates compared to the "new generation " tube stuff in the market (jolida,golden tube....)?

Fisher had really good ears, and I can't tell you how many modern amps I have passed on in favor of his tiny 15 watt mono blocs. Receivers, however are always problematic because of their complexity. I'll bet that you find the FM section to sound awesome and the phono stage to be almost awesome and really musical if a bit less transparent than some others. Over all, I'll bet it sounds great- especially when compared to modern receivers. If you have the guts and budget, try other NOS tube. You may be even more surprised with the Fisher's capabilities.
