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

My combo of Krell KCT and 400cx connected via CAST I've had for over 5 years and have no inclination to change. They are now finally broken in and are warm and full, no tube or solid state system has bettered their combined sound and I have listened to many in the years since they joined my system.

Unless a person's main focus is music it's unlikely that an amplifier, or any other component, is a keeper for life.

Tvad, I think that love for music and searching for the best possible equipment that we can afford to reproduce it, can reinforce each other.
However, YES & NO is my answer to your statement. It really depends on the individual,
don't You think.

Anyway, I just replaced my beloved Cybers 800!

I plan to keep my Ayre AX-7e for life - unless I win the lottery! I frickin' love that thing.

Oh yes, I replaced them with MODIFY CYBERS 800 - BY BOB BACKERT.
They sound awesome.

Cheers
