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.

Started with Akai, then Cosmic and then Pulz (both Indian make), then Parasound 2205, and now Gamut M200 x 2.. planning for Karan Acoustics
Started with Jadis, now ends with Cayin.
Had to move on to the best, if you know what I mean.

How you like then apples, Trejla.

Dodd 120 tube monoblocks (ahhhhh toobz! EL34-based, borrowed these from a friend for 3 weeks, loved 'em, ordered 'em, now have to wait a couple months for my very own pair. Sweet!)
I never understood why anyone would even consider buying SS amps when for the smae price or even less you can get a much better sounding tube amp.
Beats me?????????????
