20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017

For anyone that is uncertain if their 20 year old Krell or Levinson is still any good please send it to me and I will check it out and if necessary dispose of it in an environmentally safe way......

There's a re-capped Krell FPB-300 listed on Audiogon right now...

My CJ MF2300a hit 20 years old and all the caps needed replacing.  Would have been a fortune if I sent back to CJ but found a local ex-employee to do it for a reasonable cost...from what I gather, capacitors from 20 years ago had a tendency to leak or bulge making them prone to failure.   I'd avoid buying these devices and would opt for a newer device (and did recently).

I don't think my 30+ year old refreshed amp would be terribly embarrassed by most of today's offerings.

Hafler guy here again!...:) My 9180 is 23 years young and continues to delight. I am not an audiophile in terms of knowledge or equipment purchasing power. An audiophile in terms of enjoying music since I was very young.
I presume there are many amps produced since Rockford Corp., stopped producing this gem that out pace it.
