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!

I have and use 3 Adcom amps - GFA 5802, 555, 2535 that still work great. No problems or recaps. Only had one amp ever go bad, a Carver cube amp .
