I wanted to try a 7591 based amp...

So I tried a Fisher 500C receiver earlier this year.
I restored it myself with a lot of help from this forum. I bought a quad of strong 7591As and listened...

I was not impressed. It seemed to lack power. The amplifier section was running out of steam even at moderate levels. I measured output tube current in the amp itself and it was fine.

The idea was to step up to a MC225 if I liked the sound. I ended up selling the Fisher. I then considered a Marantz 8B or Dyna Stereo 70. So far the Dyna wins, so much bang for the buck!

regards,
