Gold level restored Fisher X-100-3 Stereo Tube Amplifier
This mint condition “collectable quality” amp is in absolutely perfect cosmetic and electronic condition.
The model A-100-3 was the last of the famous X-100 line, and one of the last and most advanced tube amps designed by Fisher. After a detailed professional restoration this beautiful example of 60’s American engineering looks and performs like new, delivering all the legendary sound Fisher tube components are famous for. The driver balance and bias circuit were critically aligned using HP laboratory quality test instruments. All controls function perfectly. And most importantly, the sound quality is absolutely superb, with an incredibly clear and detailed soundstage. This is one of the very best sounding 6BQ5/7189 amplifiers you will ever hear at any price, vintage or new.
