Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

since my last post on this subject i have,once again,changed amps..this time from the tenor 75 wi's to a goldmund mimesis 29m.this amp does everything the tenors did,and does it as well, but drives my piegas' much more efficiently and effortlessly.i also changed preamps to an audio tekne 'simona' tubed piece which gives a great combo sound.this time,i think,i am keeping this amp 'for a long time'.

I'm finally off the upgrade train with a Boulder 2060 stereo amp. The sound is absolutely fantastic. Rich, detailed , layered, it's all ther.

What about the Boulder monos? Maybe there's one more stop on the upgrade train still to come! ;-)

Updating my evolution, I've replaced my Jadis amps with Lamm ML1s, though the JA80s are still on the floor in my listening room, in part because I have a hernia and can't lift them and in part because I really can't bear to sell them.

You want a hernia, try lifting the Boulders. I don't think my floor could support the monos.
