Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

This will make the third time I've posted to this thread and each time about a 2 year interval. Again, I've sold off the entire system and now have a Blue Circle integrated. I just wasn't listening that much lately but when I do, still want a good listening session. I'm very happy with this set-up.

So much gear to choose from and not enough time to play with it all.

My list of amps I haved owned is short but maybe non typical....Phase Linear,Accuphase P300,Hafler 500, Platinum Model Two's,VAC 70/70 and finally a pair of VAC 140's.
You notice I went from SS to tube....but I still have the Accuphase,Platinum,and all the VAC's. The VAC's to me are a step and a big one at that above all the rest. It's probably one or two of the greatest amps ever produced IMHO. I doubt they will ever be duplicated again.
