How many amps do you own?

i am wondering how many folks here own more than one amp. I own a couple of amps...a tube mono block ( Jadis) and a stereo ss Jeff Rowland model 8t ( modded). These two amps give me what I consider to be the best of ss and tubes. i do NOT use the amps in the system at the same time. As such, the system requires two sets of speaker cables and two sets of ic cables. I can run two amps off my preamp. Anyone else have the option of two amps..if so, what are they and why do you run multiples.

One, the best to do the job (at a price) with the speakers I have.

George, you might be surprised that another amp would give you a different ’flavor’ which you might equally like as much as your ’best to do the job’. IME, there are several different variations on a theme ( ss vs tube,Class A, Class AB, Class D etc, high power vs low power etc) ...and several of those variations can be extremely enjoyable. Try it, you might like it.

Like I said I have the best one for the job, that doesn’t mean I didn’t try any before settling on that amp, but always "end up with the one"
Just like my dac's I have a few but there is still "the one"

Cheers George
