Gents,
I'm delving into the wonderful world of tube hifi and would appreciate some advice. I've been an amatuer recording engineer and have an Ampex 602, 352 and some Roberts r2r stuff I've used for mic preamps. Recently purchased a HH Scott 222 and am not sure the version it is. The front face image is attached.
I am curious about mods for this model as well as full range drivers on a budget. I plan on replacing PSU electrolytics and coupling caps but would appreciate other mods possible.
I am well versed in carpentry and have a wide variety of tools available incl. table saw, drill press, lathe, router, joiner, planer, etc. I am looking for a full range driver and a sub/ribbon tweet if necessary for my listening preferences.
I don't listen to music just because it sounds good on this type of system. I listen to primarily indie rock which I think will sound even sweeter due to smooth responce on full rangers. Listen to some jazz but only about 5% of the time.
Realize this is a multifaceted request, but would be interested in any and all input.
Thanks, Nathan
