Old SS amps

Might not have all the numbers straight but

I like the 74ish Marantz 2035. 2135?  Cat Steven's,!  

I didn't like Sansui, Kenwood, Pioneer but could be mixed up.

Magnapans were too much for Ampzilla, Quattre.  I believe we settled on SAE.

We had Carvers and Leaches. Nice sounding amps.  The leach was reliable, Carver no.  

I still use an 8002 Aragon solid state dual monaural for my power amp. It is clear as a bell and puts out 400 watts into 4 ohms and is about 30 years old. Bought it new and have never been disappointed.

@bdp24: I have all three! My Bedini 25/25 still doesn’t work despite being sent to John Bedini (RIP) in Idaho three times. The Brown Electronics Lab (BEL) 1001 amp worked briefly after I acquired it from the original owner. He was a friend of Richard Brown (RIP). It is the first production one - serial no. 0001. The John Iverson (RIP) Electron Kinetics Eagle 2A is still working. All three are competitive sonically with today's six-figure made-in-Switzerland amps!

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.  

My Classé Audio DR-9 amps are over 35 yrs. old and functioning fine.  They came with a lifetime warranty.  Try to get one of those these days.  I expect they were built to last.  They are Class AB, so never get as hot as Class A amps, so that also helps with their longevity.  I use them in bridged mode, so they provide loads of power and current.

About a year ago I removed the lids to remove dust, and I think I inspected the caps and didn't see anything suspicious.
