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

Yes! I love the Atma Sphere amps! Had them many years! Ralph is always up to something good! goldenears

Hello,

Iv'e been blessed to have owned,enjoyed and sold a ton of really good gear over a 30 yr period.

The only Amp I will keep for life though is My Yamamoto A09,which is a 300b set.It took me forever to find one and the upgrades and the initial cost have me thinking I will keep it.I presently use it powering Zu Def 4's in my smaller 2nd system which is a excellent pairing for me.

Lots and lots of really outstanding gear out there nowadays and us audiophiles certainly get the upgrade itch from time to time.


Enjoy the music no matter what you have,

Kenny.

Really happy with my Ayre V-5XE.  I'm VandyBoy, and pretty sure it would continue to do well even if I ever upgrade from my 3a Sigs.

Pass Labs Alpha 3 for me. I've used it with many a speaker and even bridged for a subwoofer amp at one point but it always is extremely musical, detailed, coherent and built to outlast the owner(s).

Right now I'm using it with Vandersteen Quatro Woods and it's a match that's hard to beat especially with the Vandersteen MP-5 crossovers.

The amplifier that I would take to a desert island and live with forever, the only one I can imaging doing that with, would be the deHavilland 50 A's. Simply stunning KT 88 amps that run in Triode Mode and still give you 45 watts. These amps are worth buying speakers that could be easily powered by these.
