Soundcraftsman amps anyone????


I used to have their 5002 class H amp. 250 watts. Never ran hot. Reliable. Had a mod done in 91 or 92. Was much smoother and cleaner after that. I regret I sold it here in 2006. There are very few Soundcraftsman sold here or on ebay. Maybe it was a small company that did not turn out many units. I drove a pair of hard to drive OHM I speakers (rated at 1000 watts max) with ease. Anyone want to comment about hierarchy in the 80's audio chain, as compared to Nikko, Adcom, Hafler, Heathkit, Rotel etc.?? I had a Nikko alpha 220 (120 watts) and the Soundcraftsman was clearer and smoother.

Don't know about their power amps but I remember JHG back in the mid 70's giving their PE2217 preamp a rave review which caused me to buy one at Capitol Electronics which was one of the "radio row" survivors down at the World Trade Center area in NYC.

Ah, the good ol' days! It was my first foray into separates. I mated it with a GAS Son of Ampzilla. A good component! I have fond memories of Soundcraftsmen.
