Used amps, how to tell if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


I'm interested in buying a used amp and I an only afford  $2,000.00

I'm looking for an amp with at least 100 watts and decent or good or high current. Magnapans 7.1

I've seen some interesting amps circa 1980's 1990's but,

I was wondering how to tell if it's not sounding "right" to me  due to old caps.

1) what would be my recourse?

2) How would or could I tell?

ie if the caps are old how would it affect the sound?

thnax.

What about Mark Levinson 33’s or 33H’s. Those were top of the line. For recap service and years of more use are they worth the gamble?
