Do amps degrade over time?


Most of my system is fairly new but I have a 15 year old Sunfire Cinema Grand amp. I had it serviced and recapped a few years ago when it started giving a buzzing sound (I realize capacitors need to be replaced after a while). I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading it. To be honest, I would probably replace it with something similar but newer. So my question is: Does the performance of a solid state amp degrade over time sonically? Would I get an improvement in sound quality with a newer amp? Or should I just keep using it until it really breaks down?

If it sounds good, leave it be. If you have the upgrade bug, shop for something new.

Yes. I'll add if you like the "Sunfire sound" then keep it.
Also, since your amp is 15 years old, it was built in USA.

Indeed. On the back it says "Made in Snohomish Washington".
