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...

Sonic Frontiers Power 1 amp. 55 watts of tube bliss. I've never been in a high-end audio store that had a system that sounded better than mine. Bold statement, huh? It's so musical, I can listen to it endlessly. I probably show up to work late 2 days a week just because I couldn't stop listening and next thing you know it's 3:30 AM.
When I get fired for being late so often, it'll be for sale on the 'gon, so be watching!

I would say an OTL amplifier such as Atmasphere would be a keeper. You get the best of both soldstate and tubes in one package. Except for maybe the bass of a solidstate.
I did own an Atma S30 at one time and if I every regretted selling something, it would be the Atmasphere.
I never say never, but I don't plan on changing amps soon. As long as 8 watts is adequate, my Audionote Kageki's are a keeper.
Tube Research Labs GT 200 monos. By far the best I have owned or heard. It is the one component that will never rotate out of my system.
