I don’t think you’d have any recourse if you bought it used. Needing new caps can present in may ways from not working at all, to dull sounding presentation, and a host of other problems. I bought a pair of Mac mc 30s, that one started over heating and red plated my output tubes all because it needed new caps.
Used amps, how to tell if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm interested in buying a used amp and I an only afford $2,000.00
I'm looking for an amp with at least 100 watts and decent or good or high current. Magnapans 7.1
I've seen some interesting amps circa 1980's 1990's but,
I was wondering how to tell if it's not sounding "right" to me due to old caps.
1) what would be my recourse?
2) How would or could I tell?
ie if the caps are old how would it affect the sound?
