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

I don't know Tvad,...... don't you love music????
Aren't you moved while listening?
Don't you ever get emotional or sentimental while in the moment?

I am sure you do.

In that case......you also appreciate music as art & music is your medium that put you in that state. If that is so......no worries, you love music - period.

my favorite amps are conrad johnson mv 125 and jadis defy 7.

FWIW,I think alnolan may have nailed this one.We all love our gear until the next "Great Hope" comes along.
Its the MUSIC thats the KEEPER

I plan to keep my McCormack DNA-500 for life... really. Well, or until I replace it with something better - whichever comes first.

Seriously, I love this amp and right now everything else I own is more likely to be replaced sooner. But then, I haven't heard everything and there will undoubtedly be something I like better at some point. All part of this strange and wonderful hobby.
