There are few good vintage integrateds

Posted by kstagger on April 19, 2007 at 04:52:35:
Back in the day when they were cheap, I owned a number of Scott, Heath, Dynaco and Eico integrateds. None of them were very satisfying to me - though usually swapping coupling caps helped. The majority of integrateds were definitely made to a price point and used low-quality output transformers and the smallest power transformer they could get away with.
Of course there were a few exceptions - I've heard that Fisher made a good one... so I won't make a blanket statement that ALL integrateds are bad - just most of 'em!
