but I could do the cap replacement. I would just have realize it would be a long project to do it right. Those things still are commanding some good money for them. My P-300 really never got too warm and barely registered the watts when using my system on it, never got close to 100 watts pull on it. If I remember correctly, the most I saw was around 60 watts on the front panel.

That was quite a bit of years out of it. It was like a Class A amp so I new it would need some sort of recapping down the road due to the heat. Jeff at Jeff Sound Values offered me a P-600 and I almost jumped on that deal he offered me but I was out of work at the time and other needs were more important at that time. Now that would have been a beast to repair!

I wonder if PS Audio would even repair/restore them now?

The Furman P1800 AR I have works great and I'm glad I grabbed one. It too a long time to break in to start sounding really nice. At first it was a little on the dull side but after 2 weeks of using it with my system and TV it was sound a lot better. After month of being on 24/7 it was really nice sounding on the audio gear and I could see a difference with the DLP TV I have plugged into it.

One bad thing, when I connected the tube amp to Furman it had a buzz sound coming from it and that was due to the extra current draw. Wasn't real loud but I could notice it if I walk by the Furman. Everything was at 120VAC. So I just put the VTA-120 on the Variac.
