Amp repair...What to expect.

Just got my amp back from repair shop. I know there's a burn in period for new electronics, but would new caps, transistors, etc. result in a lack of detail in the sound? What are the typical changes to the sonics after service?

It's a Sunfire 300 and had every thing replaced except power caps; they did not need replacement. (Sunfire authorized service shop).

Many thanks.

To Marakanetz and other Sunfire owners...

This is an interesting find, but price is too high:

I've seen that, but there are much better options here at 'gon for $700.

For those who's not technical, I'd say that it's still a bargain even if you will have to send the unit back-fourth to/from WestCoast to service it.
They sound like class A more than class A/AB/B and they never run hot with plenty of power to drive any speaker and SILENT when no music no matter if you mute or unmute your preamp.

Marakanetz, that's the model I have. The reason I posted it was cause it's a rare find with those low hours.

But yeah, the smart thing to do is but one for $700 and sent it to Roland out west.
More to discover
