Personal amp evolution

My profound disagreement with evo845. I moved from tubes to the Pass Labs X150 and couldn't be happier. Gone is the caramel gluon that valves bring. The sound is sweet, quick, and accurate. It has brought my Apogee Duetta Signatures to their full promise. It doesn't even resemble other solid states I have tried, including Acurus, Aragon, Bryston, B&K, Bel, and Krell. Before the Pass X, I was a stalwart tube soldier. I don't argue, though, with a less revealing speaker, valves triumph.

Hey Trelja, how about another "classic" receiver? any chance of you offering some of those receivers for sale here on Audiogon? or are you just teasing us?

Lafayette Receiver (1967-1970)
Scott integrated (1970-1976)
Pioneer sx-838 (1976-1985)
Yamaha R-9 (1985-1986)This is the point that I just wasn't satisfied. What a 2 dimensional sound this receiver had. The worst piece of the bunch.
Threshold S-200 (1986-1988)
Dynaco ST70 (1988-1990)
McIntosh MC-60's (1990-1997) still own
ARC D-115 Mk2 (1997-2001)
Transcendent T-8 LN (2001-Present)
Berning ZH-270 (2002-Present)

Went from Yamaha to Nakamichi to Rotel to B&K to Krell to Ayre and, finally, I have arrived with the David Berning ZH-270.
