No, but I do have a Scott LK72 integrated amp and an Eico HF91 tuner.  My modded Jolida integrated amp gives me more of a Jones.

while a scott tube tuna is certainly nice to look at, one listen to a properly sorted sherwood s3000ll or later, (or equivalent s2100-series am/fm iteration), is a true feast for the ears.  don't get me wrong, the scotts do sound wery nice.  but the sherwoods are simply better, imo.  cleaner, clearer, more detailed.  alsmost solid-state-like.  but, not.   8)  the sherwoods are sonically competitive w/the best out there at any price, imo.  freaking bargains at their typical selling prices.  and, their funky art-deco looks do grow on you after a while.

I could have if: my income was greater; I was single — no kids, DINK (dual income no kids); ready for a divorce :green:

Yep, I've bought these off eBay: a 350 factory-built and a LT-110-B kit-built.
I've also bought 3 222C Scott integrated amps (almost finished re-capping one), AND I still have my LK-48-B integrated amp that I built from a kit at about age 16.   That Scott equipment was over-engineered.
Nuts?  Yes.

Thanks for the ideas I'm always willing to search for a better tuna. :drool:
