The Fisher 500-C is a highly regarded vintage FM stereo tube receiver, known for its high-fidelity reproduction and robust engineering, particularly its power and output transformers, and for its ability to provide a "natural" and involving soundstage.
Key Features and Characteristics:
The 500-C was considered a technological tour de force in 1964, featuring a full-function preamp, a 35Wpc power amplifier, and a high-sensitivity stereo multiplex FM tuner.
Large Transformers:
The 500-C boasts larger power and output transformers than the Fisher 800B or 400, contributing to wider bandwidth and improved dynamics.
Sound Quality:
The Fisher 500-C is known for its ability to place every note, instrument, and voice in the right perspective, rather than simply highlighting them. Some reviewers feel that the soundstage is realistic and enveloping, with speakers seemingly disappearing.
