I've never heard an American made HH Scott before. While the Japanese made ones sounded nice, they all sounded much like other Japanese made stuff in the late 70s. I was curious about the American made ones. I had an inkling that because it was made in the early 1970s it would be very warm sounding as a lot of early solid state gear replicated the sound of tube amps of the era before.
My suspicions were correct, the HH Scott 377B definitely is on the warmer side of things. Its very nice, very "full/robust" sounding. Definitely a lot more robust sounding over the Pioneer SX-636 I had previously. It has a certain tube characteristic with an emphasis on the more midrange, which is nice. If matched with a more "brighter" sounding speakers to "balance" things out, I think it will sound fantastic. If you like early 70s gear, you will like this Scott.
The tuner is sufficient, an antenna would work best (like with all tuners) and sounds awesome!
Overall, the condition is excellent.
Will Demo with HQ Sansui Speakers.
