    Freshly repaired and upgraded 700-II finally in action!

    I got my stereo up yesterday and spent some time enjoying the music and listening loud! I put on King Crimson's album Lizard and felt like I was hearing it for the first time! I had to listen to it twice! Many thanks to @grapplesaw for performing the repairs and upgrades on the amp for me.

    My new PL 700 Ii

    Mark, I just checked out your videos, they look super helpful. I always appreciate an oppurtunity to acquire new skills and experiences is so ideally I'll use this new-to-me amp as a pathway to learning a new skill and perform the White Oak upgrade myself.
