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.

My evolutionary chain is much shorter:
Onkyo Receiver>
Bryston B60 Integrated>
c-j Premiere 11A amp
+
Airtight ATC-1 Preamp
I am content with this combo right now, and broke from taxes, so I'm sticking with it for the forseeable future.
Well I forgot to update my response since I've evolved some more. Went from an Air Tight ATM1 to a pair of Cary 300B Signature monoblocs and I love 'em!
Time to update yet again:
Bryston B-60
c-j Premiere 11A
Air Tight ATM-1
Cary CAD 300B Sig Mono's
Kr Audio Antare VA320
Graaf GM5050
Deja Vu Custom Push-Pull EL34 amp
finis!
(for now)
Wow I can't believe I just left off where I did! Since last I wrote several years ago I can't really keep track of everything but after the c-j 11a it went something like this:

1. c-j 11a
2. Air Tight ATM1
3. Cary 300B Sig monos
4. KR Audio VT320
5. Graaf GM5050
6. Deja Vu Audio Push-pull EL-34 Custom Amp (Current)

That is my total amp evolution after my c-j. In the interest of time, reader boredom, and writers cramp I'm leaving out preamps amd sources. I hope I can stop here as my system sounds great, but.....
Streetdaddy,
I think you listed a bunch of amps in a preamp evo thread. You might want to give it another try. Happy Thanksgiving!
I just noticed this thread was still active and I has the first reply, 16 years ago! I don't think I ever updated so here is my list of amps to date.
