[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1161304, member: 146"] Why on earth would you replace all those parts?? Transistors, unless massively abused, don't age. Resistors and ICs also are fairly binary in operation. Unless replaced with superior alternatives (which often can alter the sound to a degree that it counter-intuitively ruins the voicing of the original design) I doubt there was any merit. Besides the main smoothing caps, which for a class-AB amp seldom needs replacement either, I have my doubts if this invasive surgery was necessary. Hopefully it was not too an expensive endeavour and sounds as expected; after all that's all that matters. [/QUOTE]
