I've been using the Fisher 400 off and on since my uncle's brand new one in the mid '60's, and the one I have now was refurbished by The Fisher Doctor.
It has real classic tube sound: lovely, lifelike overall, more so than transistor, but somewhat lacking in detail, treble, and control of bass. It's not a modern audiophile tube sound - far from it - but I think most audiophiles would enjoy it.
I would be reluctant to treat it as my main system in terms of sound quality, but also you could do a LOT worse. Most modern tube integrateds are probably better, for more $$ of course.
The Fisher 400 is beautiful in it's wood cabinet, and rather than sell it I use it in my home office. Lovely sound, within it's limits, and IMO a stunning look.
