Personal amp evolution

Started w/a Lafayette receiver/ pair of 8"2-ways and a Duel 1209tt w/Empire cart!
Kept TT and replaced w/ Pioneer SX727 and a pair of 10"3-way Fisher speakers.
Still kept the TT and ended up w/a Kenwood KA-7100 and a pair of Rogersound Lab JBL 4311 copies.
Somewhere in here, I added the Original Magnevox CD101 by Philips. I still have this, but needing repair.
I converted the Kenwood to a preamp only, adding a Carver cube to the Magnepan MG-1's I traded up for from the RSLs!
Junking out the TT in favor of CDs, I than gave the Kenwood away and traded up to a NAD1700 tuner preamp to drive the cube and Maggies.
Cube died and was replaced by a Rotel. CD player replaced by an OPPO DV981.
Other stuff thru the years include AT LEAST 4 reel-2-reel of which I still have the Tandberg 3000x,
Maggies swapped for MG 1.6s and a new integrated is on the horizon...maybe the PSAudio GCC250.
What a trip.

Rotel 1080 nice but it kept blowing out a channel
Parasound A21 very nice with a little warmth
Pass Labs XA 160 not quite my cup of tea
Ayre MX-R...hopefully done for now!!!!!

1) Sansui (integrated, can't remember the model designation)
2) Luxman L410 (integrated)
3) Audio Exclusiv P2 (pre) + Luxman M363 (power)
4) The P2, an award collector in the early 80s, was the first used gear I bought; impressively as its musical performance was - especially phono - , it soon showed it had really been used ("worn" rather) and needed to be replaced by: T+A P1200R (pre) + Clearaudio Basic (phono)
5) Thereafter I ventured into surround and replaced the Luxman M363 by T+A A1520 (2 channel power) + T+A DD1510 (decoder + 3 channel power amp)
6) Replaced the T+A 1200P by T+A 1230P (huge change)
7) Replaced the Clearaudio Basic by Quad P24 (tube phono)
8) Dropped surround altogether and replaced everything by Tidal Preos (pre including phono) + Tidal Intra (power)

second system
1) Unison Research Unico SE (hybrid integrated)
2) Unison Research S2K (single ended, class A tube integrated)

Sansui model 400 receiver
Marantz model 1120 int. amp
Pioneer Spec 2 amp
Marantz 2330 receiver
Marantz 1250 int. amp
Phase Linear 700 Series II amp
Pass Labs X250

Used the 1250 as a preamp with the Phase Linear. For some odd reason I decided to get a nice preamp (Classe DR-5) to use with the Phase Linear. I wasn't prepared for the drastic improvement! Then I had to see how it sounded with a nicer amp (Pass Labs X250), so then I had to.... you know the rest....
