Default Quad 405-2

Got a Quad 405-2 in for repair. Late model with IEC in and out, and the
on-off switch.
Heavily modified. PS PCB added with two lots of rectifiers and caps and
the twin secondaries of the original transformer feeding each one. Dunno
just what difference this makes in practice.

Amps are modded too. Most noticeable are some caps on the reverse side of
the PCB and Burr-Brown OPamps in sockets - Quad has soldered in the TL071
by then. A quick glance looks like they've upped the volts to the OPamp
too.

But the odd thing is the gain of the amps is a lot down over the original.
Quick check shows something like 10dB. Why would this have been done - or
have I got to look for additional faults?
