In Reply to: Which tube integrated to keep forever? Pilot or Sherwood? posted by goofytwoshoes on December 2, 2014 at 17:04:13:
Hi there
I just bought another S-1000 30 miles from me and I have three so I may sell one...They are fantastic when rebuilt.
The S5000 is an integrated stereo amp that has no equal after it's rebuilt AFAIC. I am talking within its power rating of course but the execution of that amp is absolutely brilliant...It has a ultra linear output transformers and a five tube preamp with a Mullard driver stage and has copper internal lining in the chassis.
The S-1000 is also ultra linear and it has copper shielding on the power transformer along with similar chassis metals to the S-5000.
If you need 36 watts,the S-1000 is your amp if you score a second one. It also has the benefit of being a separate amp with its own power supply.
The Sherwoods are the keepers and I would sell the Pilot.The Pilot does not have the iron of the Sherwood and even tho it's a nice amp,it's no Sherwood.Let me clarify...Pilot builds fantastic amp and preamp separates which are first rate..Sherwood built nothing but integrated amps and receivers and they are good at it.
