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.

CROWN 75 watt pre-amp into a SAE 500 watt amp into BOSE dbx box into BOSE 901 speakers. At least I think that is how it went. The CROWN and the SAE could have been the other way around. Got Them in 1975 and had them up to 1999. Still wish I had them. Let's just say that the system was great!!!! at least for an old back woods farm boy such as myself.
TECHNICS RECEIVER
HK AVR 25 II GOOD RECEIVER
KENWOOD RECEIVER JUNK
ADCOM GFA-5800
PS AUDIO
MUSE MONO BLOCKS DRY SOUNDING
THRESHOLD S/150 (POSSIBLY THE BEST SOUNDING SOLID STATE-I WISH I KEPT IT...)
THRESHOLD S/300
ROGUE 120 MONO'S LIVED WITH FOR ABOUT A MONTH, DECIDED TO MUCH MONEY
CODA 10.5 VERY GOOD AND CLOSE TO THE S/150 WITH A LITTLE MORE POWER AND THE NEWER "ESOTERIC LOOK"...
ODYSSEY STRATOS VERY HAPPY WITH FOR THE PRICE, 10.5 WAS A LITTLE BETTER.
CARY 70B SIGNATURE TRUE TUBES 65 WATT PER CHANNEL, CAN'T GO BACK. (CURRENT)
1988 Pioneer A-656 MKII (ALR Nummer 3 stand speakers)
1993 Harman Kardon HK1400 (ALR Nummer 3 stand speakers)
1998 Rega Mira (Original) (Mission 751 monitor speakers)
2003 Linn Classic (Mission 751 monitor speakers)
2004 Linn Wakonda/LK85 (Mission 751 monitor speakers)
? some tube integrated ? - (Mission 751 monitor speakers)

So far it's been all solid-state. If I can find a good tube amp to drive my 751 speakers I might switch someday....
Started out with a Sony - whatever model, does it matter?
Arcam Alpha
Linn LK1 - LK2-75
Leak Stereo 20
Krell KAV300i
Conrad Johnson CAV50
Cary V12i MonoBlocks (still have these)
Perreaux 3150B (still have this)
Perreaux 2150B (still have this)
Krell FPB 200 - present amp

Looking at Pass Mono's or VTL's for the future. Anyone want a used Perreaux (or two)?
I got a superscope cassette player with built in speaker, I believe it was the C-101A. It was a Christmas present in 1975.
My next upgrade was a Centrex "by Pioneer" compact am/fm, cassette, turntable complete with a four wpc amplifier.
My first real receiver was a Kenwood KR 2400- 15 wpc model, foll0wed by a KR 4070 40 wpc in high school.
My high school graduation present was a Luxman 1050 55 wpc receiver and at that point I knew I had something special.
In college I bought a used McIntosh 2205 amp that I owned until I bought a just released Mark Levinson 23.
After several years with that, I quickly went through a Rowland Concentra, Sonic Frontiers Power One, Pass Aleph 3, and X250 amp.
I have now settled down-I think forever- with an Air Tight ATM with all NOS tubes.
