what will be the best old CLASSIC amp to rebuild.

""Best" and $1200 doesn't exist."

I think he meant the best you can do at $1200, not spend $1200 and get something that's better than everything else regardless of price.

I think he thinks he's going to get something better than anything else for $1200.

i will explain the question in other ways. I'm french and english is not my birth language. I search like i presume
every one of you a power amp that will satisfy my need for
a long period. i love high-end sound as i can ear every
micro difference on the sound. I buy a CM LABS 912 and
paid for rebuild one chanel has an hum and from now it not the sound i was looking for. The burn in is not yet completed.

I was thinking that if i buy a old power amp rebuild cap and
transistor it may be a good deal??? But i do'nt know from
my experience witch good classic power amp will be great
to rebuild. Do'nt want to go Rotel, Nad just want to have
something better. I need at least 100 RMS or 150 RMS 4 ohm.

Do you think a rebuild classic power amp will offer better
money return than a modern power amp??? $1200 is just a
budget reference as i know some power amp are very expensive. Hope it more clear...

Personally, I would find a person who is qualified to rebuild an amplifier and discuss it with them. No sense buying some old non-working amp and not being able to find someone to rebuild it. Unless you have someone local, I think it's not a very good idea anyway. Look what happened the last time - some guy rebuilt an amp for you and it came back with a hum. Now you have to ship some 100 pound amp back? My advice - absent a local tech, forget the idea and just buy something new that you can live with. If you're really that picky about sound, get your wallet out and forget about $1200.
