RESTORED AND ULTRA-MODIFIED VINTAGE H.H. SCOTT TUBE RECEIVERS
An All-In-One High End System: Amp, Pre-Amp, FM, Phono Stage

Several years ago, Pierre and a friend who’s a vintage tube specialist discovered the magic of ’60s small-tube Scott amps. These small-tube amps had startling low bass, unexpectedly clean and punchy, together with a soaring treble airiness. The bass and treble of the famous big tube amps (EL-34s, KT-88s, 6550s, etc.) sounded soggy by comparison. The two of them spent a year honing mods--testing one mod at a time-- to see how far they could take these little wonders. A year later, the modded prototypes were delivering stunning symphonic crescendos, lovely airiness, in-the-room presence, and amazing bass. Now that we've been turning out our modded amps for seven years, we're receiving a steady stream of raves from customers who replaced there $5k-$10K solid state and tube amps with our little Scotts.

In our current production the factory pre-amp stage is replaced with our own passive stage that beats any external tube pre-amp up to $7,500. The two factory power supplies have been upgraded in major ways. And included is a superb Scott phono stage that we’ve further upgraded.

For a customer with very limited space, we modded a 340 Scott receiver with the identical mods we use for our separate amps and tuners. The hot-rodded receiver sounded just as stunning! After listening for only 30 minutes, Pierre suddenly realized our single chassis receiver actually sounded better than an $11,000 solid state system he’d heard a couple of days earlier ($2000 tuner, $3000 preamp and $6000 amp). In contrast, the cost of our fully restored and thoroughly modded Scott receiver is $1495. We also offer a rarer, drop-dead gorgeous AM-FM receiver. 30-day money back.

The basic specs of our modded Scott receivers are:

• 38 watts per channel; the dynamic swing is large enough to drive speakers as inefficient as 84 db to full realistic volume
• integrated passive preamp
• modded (and excellent-sounding) integrated phono stage
• phono stage will handle both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges down .08 mv output
• two external line level inputs, plus the onboard FM tuner
• two phono inputs (high mag/low mag)
• one line level output
• all stock filters, balance, tone controls are bypassed to greatly shorten the signal path
• tape loop is functional
• outputs for 4, 8 ,16 Ohm speakers
