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

Carlbecker: I was right where you were with the Berning. Thought I was done with amps for my Quad ESL57s. Then I bought on a whim the Rogue Atlas that Mark makes specifically for Quads. It's sort of half way between a regular and a Magnum. Now, upgraded with KT120s, I have my final amp because I'm never buying a ARC Ref Amp which is the only thing that sounds better based on my listening.

McIntosh 275 or 4200; Luxman 590.

Is this the Holy Grail?

Conrad Johnson Premier 350 for SS! I sold mine years ago but needed to buy it back even I already have two other tube amps! Lucky I found one as it does not come too often in 2nd hands anymore!

I love my Ayre stuff
