Fully serviced and restored Fisher tube amplifier, from the heart of what is considered the “golden age” of American hi-fi. Produced between 1961 and 1964, this amp was known for its robust and amazing output transformers and detailed phono preamp, which many consider to be the best Fisher ever made. At the time, this was a flagship integrated amplifier for Fisher, being just one step below the massive X-1000. This unit has been meticulously brought back to life. This includes: a full recap (can caps, axial electrolytic caps, and coupling caps), replacement new tubes with tested and matched sets where needed, custom-made can cap flange PCBs to hold high-end Rubycon and Nichicon capacitors instead of the old leaky can caps (see pictured), an upgraded 3 pring IEC grounded power cable, and replacement period-correct Bakelite feet. Additionally, it has been properly bench tested with our Audio Precision system 2712 and bias, and balance trim pots calibrated to null out THD, and is operating at better-than-spec when at full power. It has a perfect frequency response from 20hz to 20khz, when operating at 35 watts, with 0.5% THD+Noise ratio.This amp comes with a couple spare parts, with your purchase you will recive the repair invoice, old parts and tubes as well. Here is a video link to the amp in action:

Fisher is an American hi-fi name founded in 1945 in New York by Avery Fisher. In the vacuum-tube and early stereo era, The Fisher Radio Corporation built a strong reputation for carefully engineered, high-quality home audio gear and helped define what “hi-fi” meant to serious listeners in the 1950s and 1960s.
Historically, Fisher’s core products were amplifiers, receivers, tuners, and other home audio electronics rather than modern lifestyle categories like headphones, DACs, or cables. The brand was especially associated with tube amplifiers and stereo receivers, along with related components that brought higher-fidelity sound into mainstream living rooms.
Today, Fisher is best understood as a vintage-collector and heritage hi-fi brand rather than a current high-end market leader. Its classic equipment is respected among enthusiasts for its sound quality, build, and historical importance, while the brand itself has long since moved away from its original position as a premium American audio manufacturer.
