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...
Pass Labs Alpha 3 for me. I've used it with many a speaker and even bridged for a subwoofer amp at one point but it always is extremely musical, detailed, coherent and built to outlast the owner(s).
Right now I'm using it with Vandersteen Quatro Woods and it's a match that's hard to beat especially with the Vandersteen MP-5 crossovers.
The amplifier that I would take to a desert island and live with forever, the only one I can imaging doing that with, would be the deHavilland 50 A's. Simply stunning KT 88 amps that run in Triode Mode and still give you 45 watts. These amps are worth buying speakers that could be easily powered by these.
