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.

That is interesting because that is about how I started. (GFA-555 - I listened to this one level matched in a blind test with GFA-545 and the 555 sounded better - a little less grain.) Then got the Rotel which I liked more, and now am looking at a used Counterpoint.

Started with a Hafler DH500, then progressed to a Kinergetics KPA 200, Plinius SA 50 was next, then the Gamut 200, VTL Tiny Triodes, and finally the Edge NL10.
