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

Hi TBL_HK...Great comments and interesting reading. And by the way, the Celestion SL700 is a great speaker! Did you keep it?

Well, hey -- I don't know of a keeper for life, largely because mine isn't over yet. But, I have had a GAS Grandson AMP (with meters) and matching Thalia pre-amp since they were purchased in 1978 at the Sound Shack in Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania. Now that I'm old enough to have a grandson, I prefer the GAS power amp -- it shuts off when I tell it to do so. But we're downsizing, and won't have room for the old component system. I might part with it so if anyone is interested out there in cyberspace, do send me an e-mail at grabinsky@aol.com

Grabinsky,
You have been a member for 10 years and only one post. By now I'm sure you know that you should only try to sell here through a classified ad.

A custom made 70 wpc tube amp, point to point gem which has an all star parts list with Copper VCaps, the best Mile Spec parts, custom transformers, silver wire, hand tuned, etc. Something magical with a pair of kt88's...This is one amp which provides the musical magic of a SET and an iron fist control in the bass. It is so good, I had a dealer request I not bring it back to his shop for an audition. We evaluated it with his 40K amp and it was not even close.

I am wondering what a pair of McIntosh 60 mono block tube amps would be worth in good condition and recently serviced. Anyone have any idea? bob anderson
