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...

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.

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.
Krell KRS 100 or 200 Monos - best amps ever made by Krell and they sound wonderful. Probably the most powerful real-world production amps you can buy

Gryphon Antileon Signature - sweet sounding and powerful Class A amplifier

Gryphon S100 - amazing sound and build quality for this modestly powered amp

NYAL Moscode - seeing those Tubes bracketed by MOSFETs is pure heresy, but a unique design that is fun to listen to.
