Much has to do with the quality of the gear, the capacitors are the ones to fail first .
the better ones usually last much longer as well as the coupling caps sound far better when name brand but cost much more $$ .
amplifier longevity
Is there any difference in longevity and or reliability between valve amps and solid state amps?
I thought that perhaps design differences between ss and tube amps might be a factor here.
Specifically I am considering the valve amps by Rogue Audio vs. the solid state amps by Luxman, both great brands in my opinion.
Thanks!
