    The 420A
    Being a big fan of vintage amps I t affordable enjoyable para 2 of this amp 40Watts RMS x 3 years I have been.
    Trs a good clear sound with no hum and a good Tage prampli trs.
    The bass is everything and do s'essouflent prsence momment ever. Ms. hauut a noise.
    The least, and it is quite sensitive to noise emitted by the television's cathode ray tubes.
    To counter this a good bar frrite of the power supply cable and it went away.

    Finally I have tried several of those years and he got the more strongly.
    Trs good report quality price for those looking for good sound without stro 500euros invest in an amp modern equivalent.

    Without hsiter I buy the same.

    I bought this amp 30 years ago, after listening with a friend.
    After years of handing in a shed (humidity, dust) as it has restarted on the first day without spitting potentiometers!
    Excellent quality, good musicianship, a little softer than a Denon acquired between time and very good quality / price ratio even at that time.

    I have this unit recently but I wished for a long time since Scott.
    I connected instead of a Yamaha AX series and it was the shock immédiat.Clarté stamps, big presence despite its limited capacity, much more pleasant than listening to all the amps I've had previously there.
    Buy more than I think even advised to find another for a second system ...!!!!

    I use this amp since 1979 &, except for some spitting quickly disappeared with a bang bomb Penetrating is happiness.
    Admittedly limited power (2 x 40W) but offset by a clarity, good tonal balance, although the bass need to be put forward in relation to acute, in my opinion.

    In any case, there is certainly much better (Cambridge Audio 550, for example, a marvel, free publicity!) But the robust and reliable as Scott or the heyday of Sansui, we really lost the mold!

    For how long have you been using it?
    For the past 6 months
    Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    I have owned a lot of models but rather "modern" ... I was looking for sound color that I knew little about my paternal amps at once I started looking for a good period.
    I tried several vintage models (Kenwood, Sansui, Yamaha, Marantz) and my choice is finally stopped on this model from Scott.
    What thing do you like most/least about it?
    Most:
    - Sound quality (timbre, clear treble, comfortable power (2x40W but real watts))
    - Reliability (it runs every day without ever stumbling over 30 years! Good large capacitors U.S., good preamp stage)
    - Robustness (building, details …

    - Robustness (building, details (boutons. ..))
    - The vintage look (brushed aluminum facade and VU meter in front (that always have little effect))

    Cons: at this price point, nothing significant
    What is your opinion about the value for the price?
    EXCELLENT! This has made the difference for me compared to other equivalent products too "popular" (and therefore more expensive, as desired) ... Marantz's example ...
    Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
    Without any hesitation!
