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

Yeah Mrjstark, when you can sit down and listen for six-hours without listener fatigue, you've got a pretty good system and probably don't "need" a new amp. That's where I am with my system also.

probably my Supratek Burgundy amps - 4 chassis - 100wpc 6c33 output tubes. Running in balanced mode I can bypass the 1st gain stage(6922) - transparency is amazing ;)

My buddy has been running a Threshold 400A since he purchased it new back in the late '70's (powering modified Dahlquist DQ-10's). He runs it every day, and the only problem has been the replacement of the power switch (really a circuit breaker). We both think that it still sounds great and qualifies as a keeper for life.

Yes David, it is a sign.
I agree with you that in good system
you can easily loose track of time.
When one stops concentrating on components
it usualy means that - you did alright.

It does not happened often that you get a bulls eye
synergy wise but when it happends - it is very very
SPECIAL....!!!

I am happy that your quest for music is at that point
as well.

My father still has the SAE Mark XXXI he bought in 1976. Everything else in his system has changed, but that amp still sounds just fine driving a pair of B&W 804Ns. Since he's now 83 years old and has no intentions of buying another amp, I think this one will qualify.
