amplifier longevity


Is there any difference in longevity and or reliability between valve amps and solid state amps?

I thought that perhaps design differences between ss and tube amps  might  be a factor here.

Specifically I am considering the valve amps by Rogue Audio vs. the solid state amps by Luxman, both great brands in my opinion.

 

Thanks!

Heat cooks caps. Select specific models. Amps sound different, are built to different standards - choose one within your budget that.also sounds good.

Good luck!

 

Depends where the heat goes. If the chassis is built to isolate other components from the heat, no problem.
