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.

When I started with this disease we all have (1986), it was a Carver amp. Two years later i bought a PS Audio 200C and it was wonderful, giving me good service without a repair ever. Just recently bought a Belles 350A from Jman66, and it sounds great, just what i was looking for.
