Do you own the last amp you'll ever buy?


What is the average lenghth of time a component will stay in your system before you upgrade? Are certain components less apt to be replaced than others? Do speakers tend to stay in a system longer than amps or preamps? If you've finally found the Holy Grail, how many years and changes did it take until you found it? Just curious.

No.I built a pretty good one based on a Tripath EV board.
Stan Warren optimised the board in regards to its pwr supply impedence requirements and grounding scheme and the amp is already obsolete. Stan is at work right now on an analogue amp which will probably out perform
this amp in every area.The most accurate reproduction possible at this time with the technology available is a good way to describe what is essentially a moving target.
The nice thing about progress is that I am able to enjoy a level of accuracy in sound reproduction that I could hardly imagine
even one year ago.Change is sometimes a good thing
