I think so absolutely. I'm awe struck by the 1500 with the mods I put in it and the other receiver I find to have really articulate balance as is the HK TA-260.The Mac 1500 just does it right.It doesn't behave like it's compromised like so many receivers are.

Mike, is the 260 that good? I sadly acquired one after my best friend suddenly passed away. I There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him.
Anyway, he had it on ice and was more into the 70's solid state stuff. I remember telling you about it when he got it from some tall guy in San Francisco among other details that escape me and you actually knew the guy he bought it from haha. Small world.

I got forgot to mention the Sherwood S-8000s are phenomenal as well.Even tho they have a 12AX7 driver,they also have a copper classes chassis.Yes,I like the HK 260 a lot because of the brilliant layout and circuitry,and overall execution.Even the controls are mounted on a separate chassis,away from anything that may cause issues.The iron is hefty as well.The quality of the controls are first rate,at least for the time and still for today.

Mike, thanks for the reply. I really wanted a 8000 but I didn't pull the trigger when I should have. One was cheapish that needed some work here on craigslist but I was deep into a Fisher 400 at the time.
I'll drag the ta260 out. It's already partially rebuilt. I even have a extra set of output tubes for it.
