if you like what you have, and can't afford to upgrade or refurbish...but sounds like you're still curious...you might be surprised at how good some new entry level gear can sound...and gear with dried out, dead caps, can still "play" for years...
Lifespan of amps and preamps?
Hello. I have been listening to the same NAD 1240, Adcom GFA 535, and B&W dm 620s since I was 20 in 1990 (it was a big deal to buy all that as a 20 year old kid...). Other than doing a thorough cleaning on the adcom a few years back when it stopped working, I have literally done nothing to these components.
Are they totally dated, meaning past their intended lifespan from an internal component perspective? I have to say it all still sounds really good to me. But I never really listen to other systems.
Thank you for any input!
Scott.
