Are there any reliable high end repair shops in your area? Why not ask a tech if they have reconditioned amps that fit your needs. Boomers are dropping like flies if you haven’t noticed and their survivors are disposing of their antique stereos all over the country. You want something vintage? Look for an Ampzilla or Dynaco 416 and get it restored. Otherwise you can get a brand new NAD C399 with 180/Chan of N-Core power for 2 grand with 3 years warranty.
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?
