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

It was made some time in the 1970's by a Greek audiophile who made several variants of these amps. Two of these amps where brought to the US by a Greek diplomat. One set is a four chassis monster and the other is a two-chassis monster. I believe both put out about 30 watts but they sound much more powerful. The amps are based on a Futterman circuit. Each monobloc has a massive toroidal power transform and essentially two smaller amp modules (smaller toroidal power transformer and set of tubes) that are either bridged or in parallel. I forgot what kind of tubes are in the output; they are some kind of television sweep tube. The tubes are run very conservatively so they last a long time. The previous owner left the amp on essentially all the time for the past 10 years and the tubes still test as good.

The dealer which who recently got the amps in trade for some speakers wanted $50k for the pair of amps.

conrad-johnson Premier 350-IMO it has the best virtues of Tube, Class A and SS implemented in 1 amplifier. BTW I wonder how it compares to the super exotics... ALEF-Dartzeel or Solution?

I still value my Classe DR-15 that I've been using for twenty years. Classe amps from the early 90's (during David Reich's tenure) just sound right. Maybe that's why you so seldom see the DR models come up for sale on Audiogon.

Tube Research Labs GT 200's fitted with KT 150's have no serious sonic competition at any price. You will never want another amp. YM WILL NOT Vary

I have owned several fine tube amps but nothing comes close to the purity and power I have heard from the Tron 211 and 300B SET amps. I'm hoping to be able to afford one in the next few years and that would be the end game for me.
