Bryson, Mcintosh, Cary, ARC, CJ, VTL (tongue in cheek), Krell, Pass, Decware and a FEW more, ALL require cleaning and maintenance.
I have never had any issues with any of the manufactures other than VTL, it wasn't a service issue, it was an information issue. They have some of the fastest turn around times in the business actually.
I have Macs over 60 years old, Carys over 30, CJ over 30, VTL over 30, Bryson over 25, Pass designs (20-35) Threshold and Adcom, Decware over 10 years old.
I've serviced or had all the rest serviced. They all function as they should.
Honestly, 10 year old gear is just broke-in, in most cases. SOME people actually use their gear all the time, MOST don't.
Regards
