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

Marantz 8b. Love everything about it.

I second Onemug's response. Sold off most of my Marantz tube gear but kept the 8B. I think I'll pass this along to my son. The finest amp I've ever heard. And the construction is leagues better than most of the stuff out there!

I believe there's a Pharaoh Audio Giza II with a Stygian mod that will transcend those parameters.

The first amp i ever owner: Dyna SCA 35. Sweet EL 84 tube amp. I know, not the latest word, but the end of all travel is to return whence we came and know the place for the first time (T.SD. Elliott).
