Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110?

Hello,

My power amp REF110 blew resistors and damage PCB (it is the second time), in the pass my VT100 MKIII also damage the PCB had to replace it.
I like REF110 sound but I think I should move to a more reliable solid state power amp.

Which power amplifier do you recommend to substitute Audio Research REF110 without have to regret every day?

Many thanks for the advice.

Reading that back, it sounds a bit harsh. Sorry.
This is supposed to be fun.

Dbarger,
Hey man , yes relax! We'll all just offering opinions which are bound to
differ. We all can agree there's more than one approach to handling a blown
tube and its outcome. This is fun and also educational from my
perspective. Obviously ARC has their reasons as do those brands that
choose an alternative method. I'm just trying to learn something here. My
ARC-VAC comparison was simply to illustrate two highly respected brands
that do it differently, that's all.
