I have 3 old Yamaha AVRs. One is 29 years old, another is 25 and the third is 21. They all still work. Amps last forever as long as the on/off switch works in my experience. I bought the newest one used for $25 at a yard sale. A great deal.
Old SS amps
What are people's experiences with old SS amps. And I'm talking old like close to 20 years. I guess this can be called vintage(though to me it's yesterday.)
Either you bought it new and have had it that long or you bought it used.
Is buying it used a really bad idea even though it was owned by one person with no service issues? Like an old Pass.
I hear something about capacitators needing to be replaced. Should it be avoided like the plague? Am very interested in one but don't want to be stuck with a cat in a sack.
Thanks for any thoughts.
