owHi AK; I would like to respond to your post since I too am in the process of searching for the "right" amp. Having owned a Scott 222d for many years eventually upgrading and restoring i sold it about year ago. Even though it sounded sweet and musical there was an annoying harshness in the upper midrange that got to me. Now your statement above;"Good vintage amps will outperform new tube amps", has me wondering. Many older amps do sound good, Citation II, Fisher, etc. But why should they outperform new amps that have equally good parts? And upon what information or insight do you hold that beliefe? Older guitar pickups are valuable for their sound and some say it is because of the oxidation of the copper wire that occurs over many years. Does some physical result like that cause older amps to sound better? I am attempting to pick the brains of the members of this forumn in order to build the amp I can live with forever. How do you feel about that search if I may ask along with my other questions?
