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.

Updated:
-Harman Kardon Citation 24 (from 1988 and it still works)
-Adcom GFA 555 II (great for loud music/party system, bad with thiels and critical listening)
-Muse Model 100 (one of my favorites from long ago)
-NAD 314 (still have it, and love it in my son's room)
-Dynaco ST 70 (sweet sounding little amp)
-Bell Stereophonic Tube Integrated (totally retro tubes out the yin yang) from 50's.
-Parasound HCA 800 MK II (didn't do anything for me)
-NAD C272 (amazingly clean puncy amp for 450 bucks used)
-McCormack DNA 0.5 (sweet midrange, great bass,not very refined treble though)

-McCormack DNA 225 (very nice powerful fairly transparent amp, one of the great values out there)

-McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe / Smc Rev B (lasted about 2 weeks..excessively bright and annoying, seemed to emphasize sibilance)

-Aragon 8002 (stock and then modified, very good very inexpensive amp, punchy bass, open mids, recessed highs,not as good as stock dna 225 on mids/treble but equal in bass drive, to a point of course)

-Audio Research 100.2 (this could be the end of the line for me. Most musical amp i've ever had by a long shot)
