old amps verus new


Is there much difference between the old amps such as Scott and Fisher compared to newer ones like Cary, VAC,or Audio Research.Thanks

Yep! Power, tone, and resolution come immediately to mind. However, some of the old tube stuff if properly overhauled can sound just fine in undemanding situations with the right speakers.
ironically the best new tube amps emulate the sound of the old classics. buying used vac, cary,cj etc is the best of both worlds unless you are a collector too.
Yeah, there is a lot of difference. But it also depends on tastes and ability to hear (this last one should not be underestimated). Arthur
