| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C Check out for the 500C:http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/beegee/290/page3.htmlhttp://www.quadesl.com/schematics.shtmlThis could make life easier for you for many, many years with respect to similar issues with this vintage equipment. Well worth th... | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C Wow, incredible to need to have a 400 repaired every two years. Sounds like it was not really repaired but a band aid put on it. My McIntosh tube tuners, for example, have been working fine non-stop daily use, aside from tube changes, for decades. | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C Discrete components are typically easier to replace and at lower cost after several years than much todays totally unstocked, in a few to several short years integrated circuits. If it is running after 40 years of use imagine the bargain and durab... | |

| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C As many know, including myself historically, dismissing something because of preconceived notions can be a costly endeaver in Audio. "Nothing to get overly excited about...", "great for a garage...", "I bought my 500C at a garage sale in mint cond... | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C The 500C is not going to sound incredible with energy hog and muffled/closed in sounding speakers, compared to todays offerings, like the early 60s vintage AR-3s. Many of the todays highly efficient speakers bass, midrange, tweeter speed is blindi... | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C There are multiple reasons for going into this discussion. But the first is music and beautiful acoustic music is what the 500C makes. Secondly, my Talons, for example, are very easily driven to loud levels with ease by the 500C. My former B&W... | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C Just a quick follow up. It turns out that the 6CW4 Nuvisters are very widely available and cheap now. Also the only tube that is hard to find the 6HR6 has two substitues, one of which the 6AU6 is widely available. | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C I have to disagree with age meaning an automatic dismissal by itself. If it sounds good it is good. Does the 500c get everything right? No, of course not, but does it make you smile and relax and enjoy fine acoustic music? Yes and very much so. I ... | |
| Stereophile review- Fisher 500 C Listening to the 500C through my Talon Peregrine X Mark IIs is simply an wonderful experience given not only the age of the unit but in, many respects, absolute terms as well. The spaciousness with efficient great speakers (mine are 95db efficient... | |
| Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ??? Carver C4000 Preamp and Nelson Pass, most anything of his. Passion ! | |
| Spoiled by multichannel???? There are some excellent multichannel recordings but in general I can not get excited about the multichannel sound with DSP or discrete channels just too fatiguing and unnatural compared to the best of two channel (LP, CD, SACD, DVD running in 2 c... | |
