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

I agree with Chuck- VACs are very superior amplifiers.

My newly purchased chalice audio 'talisman' SET amps.....mono blocks...will be my last amps unless I upgrade to their big brothers ...'grail' ...mono block SET amps at 50 watts...which may be the best amps made...the 25 watt 'talisman' easily drive my tidal ' contriva diacera-se speakers.

I keep driving hours into the woods and leaving my Cary SLI-80 in random locations but the following morning the integrated amp is always back at my front door deftly playing Keith Jarrett's "Koln Concert" ;-)
Sigh.
Art
ps: in triode mode on 8 ohm setting.

My Jolida 211 monoblocks has become a pair of treasure since Bob and Gary and RHB sound design modified the pair. I am certain that most true music enthusiast that have had any work done to their system by these guys will vouch for them.

Todays state of the art is tomorrows ruble .
