I built my Hafler 500 at my desk in my shop in 1974. Recent trip to my engineer showed it slightly out of bias. Other than that, measured as if brand new and still sounds great on my Maggies (bottom end).

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!
