what will be the best old CLASSIC amp to rebuild.

In my search for a HIFI sound i never found a power amp that let me think: this is it!!! Recently i buy a vintage power amp paid for rebuild and i'm NOT happy with is sound,it put deception on my heart same if he has only 70h of burn in... I do'nt ear the amp before to buy.

My humble question to the big Audiogon fan,will be what
is the best classic SS power amp to buy and rebuild under $1200.

I love dance, rock, classical any kind of music. I wish to
found a power amp that after the rebuild i will SAID OF MY
GOD WHAT A WONDERFULL POWER AMP...This is it!!!

I don't really understand what you are asking for here, other than you are looking for a good amp. You say that you never heard an amp you really liked, and that you even rebuilt a vintage amp and didn't like that one. Now you want to try and rebuild another vintage amp?

If the above is correct, I recommend you don't do anything until you actually listen to an amp you like. Doing anything else, just doesn't make sense.

Do you want a power amp, integrated or a vintage receiver? How much power do you need? Whats the rest of the system?

"Best" and $1200 doesn't exist.

""Best" and $1200 doesn't exist."

I think he meant the best you can do at $1200, not spend $1200 and get something that's better than everything else regardless of price.
