After the Sony and Yamaha receivers I started with a used Carver t-1 amplifier. As soon as I graduated college (and got my first real job) I bought a new Rotel 990 upgraded to a McCormack DNA-0.5 which I enjoyed for many years (great amp). Bought a Levinson 331 that really didn't do it for me and decided to make the jump into the world of tubes. After auditioning many amps I ended up with my current amp....Audio Research VT-50 and couldn't be happier.
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.
