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

I could propose a few: assuming it's not necessarily the only amp in the house...

FM Acoustics 800 or 600 series;
EAR 519 monos (vintage)
M Levinson 33H
Pioneer A400 (vintage)
Symphonic Line "Kraft" 250 stereo
Symphonic Line RG7
Krell KSA 50
Cello Duet

...many more I'm missing. Regards

Two came to mind.
-FM Acoustics
-Tivoli Audio table unit/radio--dirt cheap for the musical pleasures derived that I had placed 6 of them all over the house.
Both are keeper for me.

Besides my Essence I would have to ad the Berning OTL's.

I'm keeping my McIntosh MC2000..no matter if I decide to finally go mono-blocks with the McIntosh MC2301 or whatever else I might consider.

It's a mastepiece by McIntosh co-founder Sidney Corderman who came out of retirement to create his statement amp to commemorate the 50th anniversary of McIntosh's founding. It sounds absolutely superb and will only increase in value, as less than 1000 were produced.

A sound investment for my ears..and my wallet

My Berning ZH270. Six years now of zero hysteresis and zero desire to change.
