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.

Update to my system last month.... Still loving the Eico HF87 but have replaced the old Heathkit Preamp with a Decware SE84CSP. Wow! How cool is this! The sound just jumps out at me and images like crazy! I'm now in heaven.

Yaaaaa

My 20-year list is somewhat long with a (currently) happy ending:
1. Kyocera R-851
2. CJ Premier 11A (I still have it in a second system)
3. Monarchy Audio SE 160 Hybrid Monos
4. Lamm M1.1 Hybrid Monos
5. Stellavox PW1 Monos
6. Van Alstine Ultra 550 Hybrid
7. McCormack DNA-500

Paired with a deHavilland Mercury 2 pre, the DNA-500 is cranking even as I write.
