No the problem always starts with a power zener diode going to the filter caps, if memory serves me correct. From there the preamp section usually gets cooked a little. It will first start with over heating then distortion, then - repairs.I'm not saying anything negative about the sound of teh x100's. I've had a few and they actually sound fantastic. My point is reliability. Very particular units and most definetly ALL are in need of restoration.
I still would go with the 6200.
My suggestion. Buy a 2105 or 2100 from Audio classics. Buy a kenwood c2 preamp for $50 to hold you over. Save your money and then buy a C-26 preamp from Audio classics for about $500-600. Go for it!!!
