Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Here is how I rank some amps I have owned for the 57's

1 - 5 (best)

Marantz 8B Reissue...4.9
Bedini 25/25.........4.8
McIntosh 225.........4.5
HK Cit 2 McShane.....4.5
Pilot 260............4.3
Pilot 232............4.0
Quad 909.............4.0
Fisher SA 300........3.5

Mike, if you recall, I bought the HK 2 from Bill Cobb. I sort of tired of it after a while, for some reason. Maybe a lack of synergy with the balance of the system but it was a super amp, to be sure. The Marantz and Bedini sound very similar, with the Marantz a slight nod.
