How many amps do you own?

I have a pair of Quicksilver M120s that get the playing time in my main system, a Yamamoto A-08S 45 tube amp that I am likely not going to use but can't bring my self to sell just in case, Canary CA306 300B amp and a Pass Labs XA30.5 amp. The Canary and the Pass both work so well with my set up that they aren't going anywhere either. I have a like New Jolida 302 BRC in case one of my kids show an interest, a pair of BK M140s and a Yamamoto HA-03 headphone amp in my headphone system. After putting this down in print and rereading it, I think it's time to get rid of all of them but my Quicksilvers and the two Yamamotos. Thanks for bringing it up.

I have a sickness. My wife and family still love me, despite my debilitating Audio illness. Don’t get me started on the warehouse of speakers.

Seriously, I love audio and love audio gear. I love the craftsmanship and engineering that goes into each piece. I like to reverse engineer items and learn from them. I do hobby DIY on the side and like to learn from the masters. I like to keep as many pieces as I can afford so that I can mix and match and create different sonic signatures. Once an item has cycled beyond my office system, it gets sold. A man has to have limits (so I am told). Practically speaking, the house just can’t hold more than that.

@markcdaniel how do you like your Schiit ? 

I like my Schiit stacked just right.

Two: NAD 2400 and Quad 606 mki, both from the 1980's; the Quad having lower distortion. Used to have a third (Parasound HCA-1500), and that one had sounded worse than the other two at $500 used (sorry John Curl), and I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I love buying older used gear on Ebay, and soldering in new components (that may or may not be better than the OEM ones). Main purpose for having more than one, is so I can have a backup in case I'm doing work on one of them, especially if the mods don't go well: for example, the Parasound was on fire; I had put a dead short on the board that had gone undetected. Luckily, it was a three channel amp, and I was able to sell the other two. Also, I would not have to do without my system, when selling and buying second hand, where I don't know how long it will take to sell an item.
