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 evolution has been both progressive and regressive - some regrets but...here it is

Arcam Alpha 3 integrated
Acurus DIA 100
McIntosh MC2100 (bought two and ran them bi-amped)
Apt Holman Amp 1 w/ Holman Pre-amp
Conrad Johnson MF2100 - w/Sonic Frontier SFL-1
McInstosh MC225 tube amp (really regret selling this one)
Now trying the Century 21 A45 Class A integrated (really quite impressive - from China)

Thanks,

I haven't had as much experience as most of you but here's my personal amp evolution:

Adcom 535 Mk II (gave this to my brother and its a classic IMHO)
Plinius 8150 and then upgraded to 8200 (have this in a second system)
Mark Levinson 383 (have this in my main system)

I would like to try something else in the Mark Levinson line perhaps a 334, 335, or 336. Ultimately I would like to own a pair of 33H's when I can afford them :)
