hey all, newby here has a question regarding My Phase Linear 400. Its in absolute perfect condition, and all original. A customer dropped it off to my fathers TV stereo repair shop about 30 yrs ago and never came to pick it up after being repaired and it sat there in its box until few weeks ago when my father decided he'd held onto it long enough. I know it gonna most likely need caps and probably bias and dc offset adjusted along with speaker relay board (DC protection) 0few other minor maintenance work before i'd even try it. I would consider myself a audiophile as i think music should sound as good as the artist intended it to be heard. Right now i believe that upgrading my amp is gonna be the cheapest and most noticeable improvement i can do right now. How would the PL400 compare to my Yamaha rx-v1500 surround sound receiver??? Obviously i know the PL400 will decimate the yamy in power but what about real world sound quality?? My speakers are Energy C8's (older coneosouer model)and my source is my PC using Jriver media. I would continue to use the Yamaha as the preamp and to run the rear speakers and center. I intend to only use the PL400 to drive the front spkrs. Does anyone have any expereance with the PL400?? If so, any advice??
