1975: Sansui 771 reciever (a fantastic piece)
1980: Sansui integrated (not nearly as good as the 771)
1992: Carver TFM 45 (oh my goodness, I thought this was the holy grail)
2002: Carver Silver 9t monoblocks (holy grail #2)
2003: Sunfire Signature (very good, but I preferred the Carver monoblocs
2004: Carver Silver 9t monoblocks again (bought 2 pairs of them to biamp....holy grail #3)
2006: Pass Labs X-600 (I bought 2 pairs to use in a biamp config.)
Until the Pass Labs amps, I had been in mid-fi and didn't know it. The Pass Labs amps made me see the light.
