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

oblgny - I feel your pain on the Pass amp!  One sweet sounding amp.  Unfortunately, I could not afford it at the time I heard it.  They are still fetching a tidy sum used.  Keep us posted when you find one.

i just got another X150.5 and I ain't letting go of it.  

What does "life" mean?    You need a solid company to repair if needed...sound quality that will keep for 10 years or so

Oh, I take the "for life" literally. I’ve had my Atma-Sphere MA-2 power amps for 15 years and I expect them to stay a part of my system for as long as I have an audio system at this level. Someday I may downsize and no longer have a dedicated listening room, then things may change. But the change at that time will likely be for one of the smaller amps Ralph builds, not a different manufacturer’s amps.

For me, Audio Note 'OTO', with High efficient speakers..
