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've been through some nice amps in my time, David Berning, Wolcotts, Classe CAM350s but after getting my most recents, the Quicksilver V-4s, I think my search is over. LOL

...But I must say my whole system has evolved over that time period as well, so one should consider it might be more of a case of synergy over a single piece of gear that makes a system great. But all of you know that! ;)
Never say never because you don't know what Doug Dale of Coda will come up with next.
Having said that when I hooked my 15.0/CP Coda combination to my Whisper XDs after listening for an hour I sent Coda an email that simply said WOW !!!
Any Spectral Amplfier. Though the evolve, there is a basic house sound that is clear and detailed. During the CD evolution, some found this sound thin or too detailed. Now that we have excelent computer driven DACS and servers, as well as resurgence of Vinyl, you can appreciate the life like quality of the music, without any added tones.
I feel like my BelCanto ref1000ms could be based on their outstanding performance yet I know Class D amp technology is still relatively young and will likely continue to improve over time (more so than other older more established amp technologies) and I am curious exactly how far new technology might yet push the limits accordingly down the road.
My TRL Samson monoblocks. Good power, clean sounding, and run cool. The previous owner had immediate seller's remorse as soon as he sold them to me. I won't make that same mistake.
