My Linn Kairn Pro pre-amp is approximately 20 years old now, similarly my Klout, although a very late one is now about 15 years old.
At what point should I consider giving them a re-fresh/service with new electrolytic capacitors?
The forums seem to be full of people raving about replacing the big electrolytics in their older Naim gear but you hardly ever read about the same with Linn.
I purchased both units second hand so I've no idea how much use they have had.
Both units sound *fine* to me but I haven't heard any other Kairns or Klouts so it's impossible to know if they could be better still.
