I would suggest a good SS class A. I'm going SS only when I downsize and move. Don't want to hassle with any repairs, tube replacement or having to take it anywhere for service. I still do my own repairs now but by then I'm going to have a hard time lifting anything that's 40 to 50 lbs. I'm just going to listen to the music with no fuss. By then I'll probably have a hard enough time doing the dishes.
Buy Back Old or Move On?
I am putting together my retirement system; it has to outlast me (20 years) or at least my hearing. I have an opportunity to purchase back my old Coda CSiB amp which is coming up 10 years old now and recapped in 2019.
I'll be into it for about $3,000 or so by the time it arrives on my door. It will drive KEF R11s, have decent out-board DAC and some form of a steamer for digital music listening only.
Do I go back to it or move forward, any thoughts? If forward, what would you suggest?
Thanks
