How did I do on this Amp?

@Shakeydeal: I am wondering what you mean by "lifeless sounding" - are you saying that it doesn't flavor the music? By all I've read they reportedly do a pretty decent job at recreating the original sound of recordings without flavoring them.

@No-money: Glad to hear that, man. I am using it to power a pair of ML ReQuests that I got with a Logos Center.

My Martin Logan's love it, woke them right up.

Decent deal, but what a lifeless sounding amp.

Sounds like a decent deal at minimum if in good operating condition. Check the blue book info for a few $$s more and know for sure.

(1) A qualified favourable response involves first knowing just what were the replacement caps? As we all know, there is a very wide range of $$ offerings in new caps and matched performance .... and you get what you pay for in this both rewarding and frustrating hobby. (I am intuitively assuming that it was done by a professional tech in any case).

(2) W/o prejudice to the above, all you are going to get back here in these blogs are heavily biased personal value judgements. If you are happy with your purchase, you have done OK.

I think you did great!

Paid about 2500 for mine, including getting it recapped.

It took a while to break in, at least a couple months before it really relaxed. The amp had been sitting for 2 years or so.
