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.

I started out with a very poopy amp. cant remember what is was. Then i bought a carver. Remember when they used to use switching power supplies. It was somewhat poopy. From their i bought a marantz 5 channel power amp. This was my venture into 5 channel. Like the Carver it was somewhat poopy. But not as poopy as the Carver. Now, back to my senses, i bought a two channel amp. This being Blue Circle, and it isnt poopy at all.
