Vintage vs. New Tube Amps


Can anyone advise me on whether to purchase a vintage or new tube amp? I was offered a scott 222c in good shape, but I'm wondering whether I'd be better off shelling out a bit more for something newer, if it's better. I guess another concern is that I listen to a lot of vinyl, and the scott has a phono stage, whereas most new tubes amps don't.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks much,

Douglas

The scott is a very musical piece and offers an excellent built in phono and headphone. But the newer Conradjohnson amps sound better but require an additional phono and headphone seperates
