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...

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

I think that someone who primarily collects and studies music, and immerses himself in the construction and performance of it has little time or interest in gear swapping.

I'll admit I don't fit this description, which is why I rotate so much gear through my living room on a yearly basis.
