It does not mean that people under 50 (or under 20) are not qualified, or that the best people are over 50. I'm sorry if you took it that way, for that's not what I meant. It's like with cars. A lot of tube problems have nothing to do with whether it's a Conrad Johnson or a Fisher or Eico: they're just tube problems that all tube designs may present at one time or another, and all electricians who grew up in the tube era know about them, whereas younger repair persons may or may not have experience working on a tube amp. Of course, if the person works at a high end store that sells a lot of tube products they probably know what they're doing. But I find it interesting that when Panor issued their Dyna Stereo 70 clone, some of the "improvements" they made were viewed as mistakes by some tube-savvy reviewers.
