Used vs new Tube mono amp? - same model

Have a chance to pick up a used mono tube amplifier and pair it with a new Mono amplifier, same model.

Any concerns about sonic differences between the monos since they have different ages?  Since it's older by about four years would it be better just to buy the second one new?  Not sure how a tube amplifier ages aside from wear and tear on the tubes.

I agree with the sentiments expressed above. If the manufacturer has not made any notable changes I don’t believe that you’d hear any difference between them. I do also agree that it’s dependent upon one’s personality. Some people are more obsessive compulsive than others. Do know thy self.
