Class A amplifiers


I was watching YouTube reviews on Hifi and one guy said if you like Class A amps you have to accept that every 3 or 4 years you have to send them in to get serviced Becasue the heat inevitably causes issues? Is this true? I have a friend with an older Maek Levinson Class A amp and he was looking to sell,it to me, and am just wondering if Class A amps are like a boat, always costing you more . Anyone?

Add my name to the Nelson Pass Fan Club.
His amplifiers have a reputation for being highly dependable.
I have (and Love) a First Watt Sit-3; It does not generate much heat at all and I expect many years of trouble-free service from it, as that would be consistent with his company's offerings and his design philosophy. Pure, simple and with few 'moving parts'!
Happy Trails to you, Bear.............
