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...

My Pass Volksamp Aleph 30 I'll probably keep for life even after I purchase a newer Pass amp just because it's so smooth and relaxed. I would bet most Pass owners remain loyal to the brand and with good reason.
I think the only amps that we keep for life are the ones that we are emotionally attached to or cost too much to sell at the devalued resale price!

My Heathkit UA2s are for life.
My "keeper for life" amplifiers are the next amplifiers that I am going to buy. For now I am using Supratek Malbec. I am still looking for that perfect sound.

This addiction will never stop.
My keeper for life is my Pass Labs X350.5. I am very happy with it and see no reason to upgrade until a new breakthrough in amplifier design. Long live Super-Symetry.
