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.

It's interesting to see how many of us got into audio around the same time! My evolution... (the dates are my best guess).

1977 - Poineer SX-650 reciever
1980 - JVC reciever (don't recall the model ~35Wpc)
1981 - Yamaha integrated
1982 - NAD 3020 integrated
1982 - Hafler DH200 (this was a kit)
1984 - Musical Fidelity integrated (sweet little class A)
1990 - Acurus DIA 100 integrated - still own
2004 - McCormack DNA 0.5 - still own
2006 - Conrad Johnson Premier 11A - still own
2007 - BAT VK-60 - still own
2008 - ???
I don't think I can remember them all but I remember my very first acquisitions quite well:
1973 - Pioneer 25-watt receiver.
1976 - Pioneer 50-watt receiver.
1978 - Yamaha M4 and C4 separates.
Law School 1981-84 - went back to Pioneer 25-watt receiver.
1984 - Kyocera receiver to match new Kyocera CD player.
Later in the 80's - Rotel amp and preamp, followed by British Fidelity A-370 amp and MVP preamp, then ARC D-300, followed by Goldmund Mimesis 29 and Ayre V3, finally replaced circa 1999 by my current ARC VT-100 Mk III which is a keeper.
