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...

Audio Research 100.2 - Very Musical, non-fatiguing, smooth, grain-free, yet transparent & nicely detailed. Lot's of very clean power. Only 2 gain stages helps produce a purity of sound that is hard to beat. Not the deepest/tightest bass, but the best SS from mid-bass through treble I have heard bar none. Can listen to it all day - draws me into the music at every volume level. Excellent match with Bent Audio NOH TVC. An absolute steal at used prices from $1400 to $1800. Done.
Dpac996 - Best ever description of an amplifier's performance!

Bravo.

I am still enjoying the sweet sounds of my ARC 100.2
