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...

I can't afford the many tube amps, preamps and including solid state or FET amps the fortunate members here have and I ENVY all of you for having awesome amps and preamps. I'm happy to have my CARVER/SUNFIRE AMPS since I am a carver fan. My future plan is to get more tube amps that I would hang on for life. I am currently happy with my paxthon integrated tube amp which matches well with my ess heil 1d loudspeaker and grant fidelity cd 427 tube player. I agree with the tube people. I didn't know how clean tubes are till I bought me one.
I have to agree with all pf the OTL recommendations (Atma-sphere, Joule Electric, etc.)

I have a Graaf GM200 that I intend to take with me to my grave and have two replacement sets of the PL504 output tubes (64 in total) stored that I will need to get me there... A truly special amp!
