I found a used IPS-1 amp I might make an offer on. After some basic research, these seem to be 2005-2008 era amps, with very little issues (searched here and found some "buzzing" problems, sometimes fixed by isolating the transformer from chassis).
My main concern is how long do amps like these typically "last" before needing recapping, or needing other time induced component/performance repair? This amp is probably 7-10 years old, if I can get another 5-10 out of it I am good with it at the right price. All other comments regarding this amp welcomed as well. Thanks.
