I have the opportunity to buy either of these older stereo amps. Both are pulled units that gave been restored and stereo. Given an option which would you take?
I am aware of all that. I’m not asking what other amp I should buy, as I own several amps, including tube amps now, I’m looking at having some fun and want to choose between Manavox and RCA. So, given that, which one should I play with?
Yep, I’m going with the RCA. After looking at what has been done to both amps the RCA M1 12157 looks to be the better of the two. All resistors and caps have been replaced and the amp has been configured to be used as a 2 channel amp.
The Vox was configured but many of the components were not replaced and would require me to put it on the bench, take iron to it and spend 4 hours or so.
I’ll be picking up the RCA on Friday and will play with it over the weekend. We’ll see how it stacks up against my Rogue M120’s.
