Any problem with Cary SLI-80 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

I read somewhere here but can not find it anymore.  Someone stated that he had problem with the tube with his SLI-80.  Anyone having same problem.  I was thinking if I am going to buy one, should I buy brand new or used.  If I buy new one and time to resale it then I will lose maybe half of the money but if I buy used then I not going lose much money.  If this one would last for long time with out any problem then maybe worth it to buy used.  Comment please.

Thank you everyone for the info.  The problem or issue that the guy wrote I think it was life of the tube is very shot and one other issue but I couldn't remember.  Regarding recap, if the used one is too old then I might do a new one.  But if one come up with 2 yrs old, do I need to recap?  

One other question is that would this SLI-80 would works okay with Sonus Faber Venere 2.5, this speaker is 6 ohms?

Do do guys think SLI-80 have enough power if I am going to use Triode mode for Sonus Faber Venere 2.5?

I don’t really know the difference between Triode and Ultra-Linear but from my understanding that Triode is better, am I right?
