Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?


What is the expected lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier (Krell, Mark Levinson, Anthem, Bryton, Pass Labs)? Is their any maintenance that can be performed to extend the lifespan of one of these amps?

Oh my, you are quite the clever one aren't you? I'm so glad we have such a quick witted forum policeman on board.

attack?
putrid?
rants?
denigating? (the correct word is denigrating. If you want to impress us with your vocabulary you should check your spelling)

Hold on a second, your idea that using low-fi, antiquated equipment to prove caps don't deteriorate is rightly, politely refuted and you consider this an attack? There is no "mine is better than yours attitude" in that. It is a simple statement of fact.

Your rants full of insults and abuse is much more denigrating than what you rant about. Probably one of the most ironic posts I've ever seen here.

Thanks for entertaining us.

Had a PS Audio 200C amp years ago and it began sounding lifeless with a cracking sound audible. Called PS Audio and the tech said that after about 20 years the caps are pretty much shot. Which led to my purchase of a Belles 350A.
