@hifiman5 My apologies, it was post by other audiogoner prior to yours. My mistake, in my mind they kind of lump together.
As of system - our experiences often developed over time. My current system hardly resembles what I had 5 years ago, in fact all components are different. Now it is Pass Labs 30.5 amp - but before it was W4S, before that was Krell, before that was Conrad Johnson. And it is just amps. How current system can help anyone to understand my experiments 10 years ago is beyond me. Outside of course "mine is bigger" (or more precise, or more analog, or more sensitive, or more musical -take your pick)).
