digital Amp. Going green


Any thing out there between $3000 to $5000 in the digital amp arena that has altered your desire for using tube base amplification?

Ok, replaceable batteries but what happens when Red Wine Audio is no longer, lets say 5 years done the road. You have retired and because you were foolish and through what little hard earned money you had on this relentless habit, you can't be running out and dropping another $5000 on a new amp. Lets face it, it has to stop sometime. Will there be a replacement battery available? Call me paranoid, but that's exactly what happened to my Shanling SACD player. It stopped working and they will not fix it because they no longer make that model; It's only a year and a half years old! Are there any reassurances?
Batteries are a simple technology. It would never be an issue. It might not have the company stamp, but you would always have music.

Good luck. Keep posting the changes.
The RWA amps use a pair of SLA UB1250 F1 12 Volt 5AH batteries. Easily available and can be had for $12.00 each. No worries about future availability. I'd be more concerned about sourcing a favorite vintage NOS tube in 20 years.
