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.

01. Optonica integrated (1987 @ 14 years of age)
02. McIntosh MC2100/MX113
03. Carver integrated (above McIntosh blew up)

05. Audio Innovations ai500 EL34 (my first tube integrated!)
06. Rega Brio (WAF-influenced purchase)
07. SimAudio Moon (boy oh boy was this one awesome!)
08. Antique Sound Labs Orchid 2A3 (simply lovely)
09. Lexicon proc./Adcom 5 ch./Rotel 2 ch. (WAF-influenced delving into home theater - it's still around in the living room)
10. Audio Innovations ai500 (I got one again and ahhhh, in my very own listening room...finally in 2004 @ 31 years of age)

Combine #10 (with Pearl cryo'd SED 6L6GCs/Sovtek 6922s/Sovtek 12AX7LPSs) with a pair of Louis Chochos' Omega Loudspeakers' TS3 Standards, sourcing from a Thorens TD160 Super/Benz ACE/Mission tonearm combo, all running over DH Labs Silver Sonic cabling and you've got an extremely precise and yet warm/lush sound.

Cheers!
