what should i do?

i was using a fisher x-202-b for the past two years and was happy with my gear. loved the sound and thought i could never hear anything better. well problems started about a month ago and the end result was a couple blown caps. it had the original caps up til now. my tech replaced with modern equivalents or so he said and i really don't hear the sound that i remember. it sounds kind of dead now. i am thinking of dumping the amp and trying something new. i have a mcintosh mc250 sitting around but know preamp. if i match up a mcintosh preamp to it will i be back in audio heaven? i do use a turntable quite often so i need a preamp with a good turntable preamp section. i guess what my real question is should i abandon my 40 plus year old amp and start again with something solid state or should i look into more modern tube gear. i need to be pointed in the rite direction. what would you do? sell it all and get something totally different? i am half tempted to take the amp to another tech and see if he can bring it back to the way it was? actually im starting to get pissed as i write this... help.........

does anyone have any oppionions of the mcintosh amp? what does it sound like? i have had it hooked up before without a preamp so i did not get a good taste of it.
