Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?


Just wondering, with this audio merry-go-round of buying and selling, if anyone has an amp that will be a keeper for life. I haven't yet but came verrrry close once...

The Berning ZH270. Simply because it is dependable, has auto biasing, is clear and transparent with no obvious deficiencies, is easy on tubes. Is it the best? No because that is always subject to change depending on speaker load and taste, the reason why folks often change, there is no best. I have heard other amps I really like in given systems but the Berning is just a great design that never fails to amaze me after 8+ years of owning it. I can see no reason to change it, it is too special.
How many of all the previous posters still own that "Keeper for Life"

Of course we'll never know but as Sonicbeauty asks, I too just wonder.
Pavpet sounds like she emptied the bank account before leaving you high and dry. What happened to your love affair with Wyetech? Is the amp all of a sudden junk or are they just not servicing it? Sorry to hear your bad experience but maybe you could provide more details than just saying the amps are stocked with cheap 70.00 transformers.
