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...

VAC 450 IQ monoblocs. They constantly surprise me with their speed, range, bass and overall dynamic presentation, along with that sweet VAC midrange. Well-built, well-conceived, well-supported, well-done.
A pair of upgraded MFA M120 mono amps w/ Gennie KT88's. I've had 'em since the late '80s and they were upgraded a few years ago. I have neither the money nor the patience to audition anything else which purports to be better although I've recently become intrigued by a few integrated tube amps.
