Personal amp evolution

Kenwood integrated/high school > JVC receiver college> Adcom 5802 until 1 year ago, then I was cured of transistor disease.
In my now tubulous audiophile life, I have a vintage, fully serviced (new caps, tubes) Berning 230 amp (30WPC) in my main system and a new Music Reference 10MKII with V-caps in the bedroom system. I which I had been cured sooner. I walked the earth like a zombie listening to equally zombied out transistorized music for decades. Hyperbole aside, the imaging, body, and to use the cinematic phrase "suspension of disbelief" that I am listening live is meaningfully closer with carefully chosen tube gear vs transistors. Merry Christmas all.

I still have the last five, though the McCormack is what I usually listen to. The little Maggie 6V6 is a great bedroom amp.
