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

Mesa Baron. With adjustable feedback, various triode/pentode choices, capability to use different tubes, it can be adjusted to suit the music or the moment.

Doesn't mean I do not want others, too!

I love my Krell FPB 400cx It can drive any speaker out there.

This feels a bit like grade inflation where half the class gets As.

My Densen B-275 Super Leggera is for life as its lifetime warranty.

Audio Note Meishu, without a doubt. I ditched the merry-go-round, the last iteration of which was Revel/Bat/Rowland, and went all Audio Note and have never looked back. It's been 6 years of Audio Note and I haven't even had the urge to upgrade!
