Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers


For our collective entertainment, this thread is all about upgrades.  The rule is that you cannot post unless you have owned the most recently posted integrated amplifier and upgraded to a different integrated amplifier.  

For example, I started with a Yaqin MC-30L and upgraded to a Pathos Classic One MkIII.

The next person should post their upgrade from a Pathos Classic One and so on.

The premise is fair but the chances of someone having "upgraded" from the OP's integrated is kind of slim, and the chances of each subsequent poster having upgraded from the previous one is quite small, I'd guess. Not to mention, there are only so many integrated amps and who's to say that a more expensive one is an upgrade? Additionally, is the most expensive one actually the best sounding one? (I know, silly question because most humans associate cost with quality even though that's not always the case).
