Should I update my preamp or buy new one?


Hello everyone,
I have a Cary Audio SLP98P 15 to 18 yrs old, should I send to Cary Audio company to update preamp to current model, or buy new one. I can get very good discount on new preamp.
Any feedback please post,
Thanks,
KD.

Why do you want to upgrade?  Is there something missing or lacking in your current preamp? 
I agree with Nordicnorm, a cost evaluation between a refurbish or a replacement needs to be considered. It seems to me that, given you can get a good discount and can sell your Cary works in favor of a purchase.
If you  like the Cary sound, then depending on the cost, send it to them to get updated.

What is the difference between getting it updated and buying a new one?
