Does`nt seem worth the risk and trouble to save only 200.00 dollars.Buy a later unit.
preamp - price vs age
I am looking for a Cary SPL98 preamp, and I found one locally. It is an older unit in chrome probably manufactured in 1997. The price is about $200 cheaper than some of the newer red unit sold in Audiogon. It also doesn't have a remote. My concern is the age. I believe the caps would need to be upgrade after some time. Is it too old to buy a 13 yrs old unit? Would the cheaper price compensate for the age?
