Evolution implies progress, which I'm not sure is the case. Returning to some vintage roots finding some surprises. Here's the sequence (since 1968), with some overlap

McIntosh C20 (20 years)
Audible Illusions Modulus 3 (10 years)
Creek OBH-10 passive (8 years to date)
Wright WPL-10v (6 months)
Audible Illusions Modulus 3a (3 years to date)
Conrad-Johnson 17LS (1 year)
Hovland HP100 (1 yr)
Mapletree Audio Ultra4 (1 yr)
Promitheus TVP (1 yr)

Notice the trend. At this rate, I'll be trying a new one every 3 months!

Quad 33, Dayton-Wright SPA modified, Precision Fidelity C-7, Classé DR-7, BAT VK-3i, BAT VK-51SE. Then I eliminated the preamp completely buy using the preamp section in the Audio Aero Capitole and Prestige CD players.
