"Can You Lift Yours?"

Placed two Mark Levinson No23's on a high shelf 25 years ago by myself...at 70 lbs each....and did not touch them until recently.  My two sons-in-law got them down.

In another system I have a single Bryston 4B cubed coming in at 42 pounds.

At my current age, not sure I would hear meaningful difference but have never swapped them to compare.....but 42 lbs is certainly easier to handle than 70 lbs.....but I negated the advantage by using the Bryston with Egglestonworks Andra II's which come in at 215lbs each.

When I move to my retirement home, definitely going with quality headphones...only.

It is horrible getting old, but it beats the alternative.

Sometimes it’s not just the weight of the unit, but the shape of it, not to mention sharp heat sinks.

@tattooedtrackman Colored me impressed, for sure.

My amp weighs about 95# - I've had heavier and lighter.  I can move it and feel a great sense of relief when I don't have to or the move is complete!

• My current amplifier is the best one I've owned.
• The second best amplifiers were significantly less - ~35# and while there was two they were easy to move even in all their packaging.

Honestly, I'm more sensitive to speaker weight!  

My former longtime amp (Pass Labs X 250) weighed in at a hefty 100-110 lbs and was a bear to handle, which is why I had it on the bottom shelf of my rack and tried to never move it😎. Thank goodness I never needed to send it off for repair and it proved a definite deterrent for the upgrade bug😝!

In the middle of the night, a JBL 4311 speaker fell from eight feet onto my bare toes.  All five toes broke and the pain was unbelievable.
