I have two amps I'm thinking about getting rid of. I purchased both of them brand new, and they both are in great condition. 1st is a Phoenix Gold ZPAO.5 2nd is a Phoenix Gold XS 4300. Just trying to see if anyone could give me their $.02 on what I should try to get for them. I got a pretty good offer already for the ZPAO.5, at least in my opinion (offer was $400). Any info or opinion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Caps changed? Why would that need to be done? They are both in perfect working order.

Here's why:

Many older PG amps will need the capacitors replaced (M, MS, ZPA, MPS, ZX, etc...). They are prone to leaking and eventually failure. There are quite a few horror stories similar to the one above about leaking capacitors on even never used older amps.
