Personal amp evolution

Onkyo 2 channel reciever
Onkyo 5 channel
Onkyo 7 channel
Parasound
Rotel

I stick with stereo. No multi-channel nonsense. I like to keep things relatively simple (considering the possibilities).

Notes: After a 30 year tour of duty in my brother's systems, my original Marantz 240 is back in my hands. Since 1997 using linestages, my phono preamps have been:

1998: EAR MC3 transformer + Wright Wpp tube RIAA section
2001: Bel Canto Phono-1
2004: Audion Premier phono preamp

This year I returned to a full-function preamp, the Audion Premier 1.0 for line and phono, with Blackhead transformer.

Pioneer, Rotel, Bryston, Classe, Gryphon

Started at 17 years old with an NAD, then went to:
Denon
Rotel
B&K
EAD
PS Audio HCA-2
Pass X-250
Pass X-350
Classe 201

I now have a Bel Canto Evo4 Gen2 running bridged which I think will stick around a while. The only other one that I loved was the big Pass X-350, but I had to sell it for financial reasons at the time, that was a hell of an amp, it would be a good shootout between the BC and Pass.

I have a Samsung/Luxman amp: http://public.fotki.com/Thorens/samsung_irreal/100_0327_new.html ,Luxman D-500 CD player and Ecouton/Audiolabor LQL 150 speacers.Also vintage Marantz Model 6350 LP player,Pioneer CT 950 tape deck and SONY TC 765 Reel-to-Reel.Second AMP Symphonic Line RG-9 Mk3. Samsung MORE better,than SL.
