That's a beauty. I've never heard of Scott amplifiers. I'll have to read up on them. For the next year I'm not buying anymore audio items or not much else for that matter. I've made a commitment to get rid of my debt which is substantial. 3/4 of my debt can be attributed to this hobby.
There is a lot to learn about, not that I really learned that much over the years. I had a tube tester and could check all the tubes. I also learned how the Scott amps started with the first models made very weak in power, also not having headphone jacks, then slowly were made more and more powerful until everything went solid-state.
I don't remember if the Fisher 500s had a middle mono channel? It was when stereo first came out and the three channel system helped folks who heard a space in the middle? The Scott had the middle channel. At times you can still find them for $200. The capacitors need to be replaced if they are original. Funny though that all through the late 1990s into 2004 all I was into was that Scott sound. Your mind plays tricks on you and you could hear a $10K solid state rig but it would not sound as good as your tube amp. I maybe just need to borrow a Scott amp for side by side comparisons as at times memories are embellished. Lol
More than enough power. The LCD-X's are pretty darn efficient - 20 ohms - 103db @ 1mW. Based on other threads, the WA7/WA7tp seems to have no issue driving LCD-2's/LCD-3's as well. I never turn the volume up past the 12:00 position on the LCD-x's for normal listening volumes...
I am currently setup with a pair of Klipsch Image ONE's plugged into my iBasso Boa 2 dac/amp!
I'm also debating upgrading to the Klipsch Reference headphones since they are highly reviewed (http://headphonecharts.com/best-Klipsch-headphones.php) but not sure if they're worth it. Any feedback would be appreciated!
