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...

Audio Research VS110...unlike any other tube amp I've heard. No roll off at all on either end nor any hazing, quick, controlled and dynamic with tremendous soundstaging and color. Sounds as powerfull as my Krell FPB 600 and 400cx did...superior to the ARC VT100 and VT200 models!!
Conrad Johnson Premier 17LS into Pass Labs Aleph 3, not very powerful but they will do me. How long is "for life" by the way?
i'm still in love with my cary audio slm-200 monoblocks. after i hooked them up, i thought to myself, "this is it. my amplifier search is officially over."
What about McIntosh 501 mono's - I'm gonna give them a listen with my thiel 3.6's
The Krell FPB 700cx has never failed to amaze me, but the fact that it is for sale would preclude the possibility of it fitting in with the 'Yes' responses. Unfortunately I need to raise some cash, so discretionary items are the first to be eliminated.
