My Sansui 7070 receiver that is ss has been running in my wife's salon for over 25 years never shut off (except power outages). It still works like a champ. This was purchased new in 1978. I think it was the quality of components the used. These old receivers were way over engineered and when said and done were great value.
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!
