I have a C2200 preamp that has been sitting aside mostly unused since I got a C2300.
It is gorgeous and plays great, and it was my first Mac piece and I don't want to sell it. I am keeping it as a backup and possibly to put it in use in the future.
My questions are:
1. Should I periodically power the C2200 up to keep the capacitors exercised to slow down any deterioration? How often?
2. Under these circumstances and given that the C2200 is around 2004 vintage, how long should I expect it to stay in perfect operating condition before it would need an overhaul?
Thanks,
Alex
