Hello, j rodney:You referred to:
"Lets see, early Scott components with copper chasis VS those Fishers with the plastic knobs...;^)"
Where did you come up with that one? :-) And, what does this have to do with my previous statement, anyway?
Over the past forty years, I have owned quite a few pieces of both Fisher tube gear as well as components by Scott. I can tell you that from my personal experience, I have yet to find a tube-era Fisher set of any kind which did not come in a rather robustly constructed chassis. I found quite a few of the contemporary Scott pieces to be less robustly constructed, however.
And specifically, as concerns SCOTT TUNERS versus FISHER TUNERS, the Scott tube-era units often came equipped with very thin aluminum bottom plates. This happens to be a fact.
Even my Scott 310-D features that sort of construction. Keep in mind that such components were mostly meant to be housed in nice quality wooden cabinets or placed through cut-out openings in custom installations.
Obviously, this does not have anything at all to do with sound quality, mind you, just logistics.
Then, of course, there are Harman-Kardon amps and preamps, which are built like armoured vehicles! Ever lift a Citation I preamp? Get a back-brace!
Anyway, cheers!
