Can the sound of SS amp deteriorate over time??


Would like to know if the quality of the sound of a "high- end" solid state amp can deteriorate over a period of 10-15 years. That is, the the bass sounds less tight and controlled, the sound is less clean and clear and imaging is less focused and precise. I realize that a tube pre-amp or power amp are subject to this deterioration in sound depending on the quality and condition of the tubes.... Need some technical advice

Assuming proper ventilation & not being maxed out power wise 24/7, no reason you couldn`t get 30 yrs. or more.
Short of bench testing an amp to determine if it meets spec, there is no way to tell for sure. Many, who consider measurements verboten, foolishly waste time & $ with ZERO improvement.
