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.

Starting in '71: 626 pioneer receiver, something sansui receiver, hafler 200, Son of Ampzilla. That's it. Used the Hafler for 20 years. The Son of Ampzilla (an original) is just stunning.

Plinius 8200 MkII
ONIX A-120 MkII Integrated
Aragon 8008BB

If anyone is looking for a SUPERB value for a great integrated on a budget you absolutely MUST audition the ONIX. MSRP is $695, and what you get for that is unbelievable. That said I'm in the process of evaluating the 8008BB, I had a bit of a headache from work before I even started listening so I wasn't in the right frame of mind, however I was impressed initially. If I end up not keeping it I'll likely move to try a pair of those new 1000W eAR 1001 ICEpower monoblocks.
