No. Aging caps is a serious problem especially recently where manufacturing moved from Japan to China.
Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated?
My local dealer has a McIntosh 6900 integrated amp for sale from original customer. I'd like to know if you would be comfortable buying a model that is 12-14 years old and if SS equipment can lose SQ over time? The price is right and I've wanted to try McIntosh. Not really a post about the love or hate of McIntosh, but whether vintage gear can still be quality. I'd like it to be my last Integrated purchase.
On a side note, the price is right, but that said, for about $800 more, I could get into the MA7900. What are your thoughts?
