Greetings fellow AKer's. This is my first post in the Yamaha forum.
Yesterday I purchased an M-40 that was on my local CL. I am thrilled and amazed at the quality of sound produced by this amp. I pulled out my old Infinity RS6b speakers that were stored in a closet, the smallest Infinities I own, and the M-40 made them sound like nothing I have heard before.
The amp has a QC sticker on the back with a date of 9/1984. Everything inside the amp appears to be original so the parts are over 30 years old.
My question is if there are any internal parts or components that are known to fail or tend to degrade with this or similar period Yamaha amps that I might want to replace or upgrade with newer components at equal to or better specs? Or is there something that can be replace that is known to improve the performance because technology has evolved in 30 years?
