@devinplombier regular preventative maintenance is desirable even with more modern amplifiers as they age. My 33 year old Krell amp has more protection circuits than a lot of modern amps have, but that doesn't mean it can't still have a catastrophic failure.
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.

@devinplombier yes, some amplifiers are not worth putting too much money into repairing, the better built ones like many of the old Krell amps is a different story. To buy a modern class A/B amplifier built like the old Krell amps would cost tens of thousands. |
