what will be the best old CLASSIC amp to rebuild.

Do you want a power amp, integrated or a vintage receiver? How much power do you need? Whats the rest of the system?

"Best" and $1200 doesn't exist.

""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...
