  I had an advent for a while -
  -sounds like a line from a Marian Faithful song...
  
  I am not sure that it lives up to the hype-
  There is a bit of a ticking clock to the unit - the Galium-Arsenide transistors are beyond Unobtanium -
  ad there are many other components that may well fail at this point in their lifecycle-
  
  The Tuner circuit is better than average, though for my money there are other vintage units I would pursue for FM (or AM) sources...
  
  The unit runs a bit warm-
  and has only 15 watts of power - for that , I'll pick up an EL-84 based amp...
  Happy Listening

  Just found the link below by doing a search for 'Advent 300 rebuild'. Some interesting reading, and it appears he was still supporting the Advent 300 as of July 2020.
  
  I had an Advent 300 as the amp/preamp for my first system I put together while in college. I had a pair of Cizek model 3 speakers, a Rega planar 2 turntable and Sonus gold/blue cartridge. I still have the turntable but it's had so many parts replaced the only things still original are the plinth, glass platter, dustcover and power cord.
