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!

32 year old NAK PA-7A MKII & CA-7A pre here.

Both checked out by ex NAK tech early this year. They're in A+ condition.

Caps are in great shape, and tech says you couldn't buy better ones even now no matter what you spent.
