Tube preamplifier lifespan


Do tube preamplifiers, excluding tube replacements, have shorter lives than solid state preamps?

I'm listening to a 25 year old preamp it sounds great and works great haven't had a problem with it besides an occasionally dirty pot and changing tubes. It's a custom job so kind of a one off but tube preamps can last very long and plenty have.
