Back in my college days I ran a disc jockey company and used mainly high powered solid scrape stuff from bryston,crown,and phase linear.

Here is an update on my amps! See below.......

Sansusi 800
Sansusi 8 (Still working in my cousins system)
MacIntoch CS 32 (pre-amp)
Mac 2205 Power amp
Mac 5100 (in another system I had)
Phase Linier 400 (power)
GAS Ampzilla ll (amp)
Therdra (pre)
Levinson ML-1 (pre)
ARC SP 6/SP 6A/ SP 6B (all great pre amps)
Conrad Johnson MV 75 (2) (power)
Conrad Johnson PV-5 (pre)
ARC SP 8 (pre)
Bryston (power)
ARC D 115 (power)
ARC SP 9 (pre)

Replacing the Perreaux 2150B is the Perreaux 3150B AND replacing the ARC VT100 mkll is the ASL Hurricanes.

Hey RWD..."My morning smile"!!! I forgot to list the late great ARC D-115[ my all time favorite muscle amp in its day] as well as a pair of the original Mark Levinson ML-2 monos,to this day,still the sweetest solid scrape amps I have ever heard![ At 25 watts/channel no less]They could drive the Dayton Wright E-stats to higher SPL's than the 700 watt/channel Phase linear 700b! Sounded phenominal on the Quad 57's or anything else for that matter.I should start a new thread on preamps as I noticed you listed yours.IS there a thread already?
