Some points of clarification...
Most class A amps aren't, really.


I saw some evidence online that this one is not, really.
It is a bit of a monster though. It weighs 40 pounds.
I like it because of the good reputation, and that the
front is mostly blank. The input gains are on the back.
The front only has power and A/B speaker switches and a
few lights. It will look really cool sitting under my
1402VLZ Pro.


But your 1402VLZ Pro might not remain "cool" (ar-ar).


I heard that this amp runs pretty cool, but I'll be careful.


I assume you know to be cautious. On eBay, I've had a few sellers who
shipped damaged or malfunctioning merchandise (only one made good on it), or
took my money and didn't ship anything. Then there was this guy and his
girlfriend who were just plain psycho. They decided to back out of the deal
without bothering to tell me. I didn't lose any money, but...


I've had excellent luck with eBay, but this was a local thing.
I'm going to pick up the amp in person this afternoon, and will
at least be able to verify that it is working.

If it was suffering from old capacitors, how could I check for that?
Just see whether it sounds good to my ear at that particular moment?

Thanks,
