In Reply to: RE: Which Sherwood S-5000? posted by dee eye why on July 26, 2014 at 14:02:40
Per Mikey Samra instructions; I got the S-5000 with 7189 output tubes and 5 preamp tubes that are "slanted" on the front part of the chassis.I took my time as well to get exactly what I wanted - a near pristine piece.
When I received mine I wasn't expecting much as it was bone stock.
It completely annihilated my stem to stern rebuilt Fisher X-202-B.My S-5000 is at casa Samra getting a soup to nuts rebuild - can't wait to get her back.

I have the same model type. And it was rebuilt by Mike. All I can say is this IS the best stereo I've ever had, or will ever have.
It's almost funny when I look at it. This humble little old stereo that sounds better than anything I've ever had or even HEARD!
The five tube preamp section is the deal breaker. And 7189 output tubes are perhaps the best "audio" tube made.
What more can I say - but go for it and have Mike restore it.

Mine does have the slant 7189 outputs, telefunk preamp tubes and amperex redctifier tube.
If you get it, spend the money on the telefunks and rectifier tubes - it does matter!@
