High End Components - How long do they last?

I still have some stuff from Levinson, the man (X-over) and a Threshold Stasis II, when Pass still owned the company. Both units are from the seventies and still in use. I once inadvertedly dropped the amp about 10 feet down and since it's built like a tank, it survived it. The X-ver needed a minor repair once in its power supply. I also have a couple of Quads 64, they however gave a bit more trouble through the years. Cheers,

I have some Bozak speakers with internal amplifiers that are 25 years old. I refurbished the cabinets but have done nothing inside which is rare because the cones usually disintegrate.

Until you read a review of something that supposedly sounds better.

Mes, love your sense of humour! It was the highest of ends I got to so far. How're you doing?? Music coming back to life? Drop me a line, if you like! Regards, Detlof

If you are not adverse to replacing parts that wear out, and assuming you can get them, then they last forever. I know someone who just replaced the FET's on his old Conrad Johnson stuff. The replacement FET's came from CJ.
