High Tom,
This is why I'm still using my father's stereo receiver.
It is more then 50 years old.
The phono stage in all of these newer receivers, I found to be a joke.
They can't reproduce the high quality sound that comes from my Fisher 500-s
receiver.
Oh ya, this receiver has vacuum tubes in it.
No transistors anywhere in sight.
This is the reason I'm keeping it working and operational because I love its
sound.
Today's stereo and surround receivers, can't come close to even touching it.
My best regards.
John.

Well Brett and list: To show you how it's gotten to be, I have a friend
(great steel guitarist)..he recorded some songs..I guess it was fifteen
years ago..maybe more..a few years ago, he put those tunes on a CD (along
with some other stuff he'd done)..well I have a cassette tape of this one
song (the click track is still on it)..but the tone of that steel just
sounds so nice! Well when they put it on CD, although it's the same guy;
same tune and all..it doesn't have that good, smooth tone as it has on
that old cassette I have of him doing it! I remember him telling me that
(and I've found this out for myself)..in the digital world, if you turn
the volume down, it goes down to a point; then just cuts off! It's this
way on my JVC stereo receiver; when it gets to a certain point, instead of
the sound continuing to taper off, it just "cuts off completely!"
