If you do decide to go for an RCA, make sure you pick a "senior" model with the transformer powered 6V6 amp. It may or may not need caps, but it's probably the best amp of any of the older machines. I personally don't like the newer 415-416 models quite as well, but whatever you do try to avoid the "junior" models with the narrow amp section which are line voltage powered and, as caps deteriorate, can present a shock hazzard in addition to having a lower output amp. Frankly, if I hadn't switched to xenon I'd still be using my RCA's. They're wonderful, quiet, gentle machines.
