Marantz 8B In Stereophile

There is a review in the current March '12 issue of Stereophile where the reviewer gives a completely unrestored Marantz 8B a fair-good review.His complaints were excessive hang time,slow sounding,and only fair imaging.The whole time that I was reading the review I was thinking that the amp. is being judged with old leaky power supply and coupling caps.I would be interested to know how fully restored 50 yr.old amps hold up against new tube amps.It doesn't seem like a fair review with out of spec.components.
