Re: I really like those Scott 299Bs

64.216.25.89

Hi,
Insightful description.I think it extends to front end as well.My Scott tuners are somehow more satisfying to listen to(warts and all)than about 60% of my CD's.
Incidentally,I recapped one of my 299b's,and replaced some resistors,and went to under chassis electrolytics(modern values).Also dropped the voltages with a 500ohm 10w resistor off the 5AR4 to bring down plate and grid.NOS EL84m,etc.This amp now sounds horrible.I'm going backwards to see where I screwed up.
Best,
Pat
