Great answer and advice from Schipo. I would like to add...making sure speaker driver screws are tight and keep an eye on the foam surrounds. Capacitors in amplifiers are usually the first passive devices to go bye-bye, usually after about 20 years.
"Normal" Maintenance?
Outside of the obvious things, like tube replacement, or general TT maintenance, are there things you'd expect to have to do to "maintain" equipment as it gets older? If so, what types of things and to what type of components?
I'm not somebody who has a deep understanding of how electronics physically work, so my assumption is that my purchase of, say, an expensive amp should warrant many, many years (decades?) of maintenance free service, and I never think about needing to have it maintained. Curious if anybody has a different view.
