Personal amp evolution

Pioneer, Rotel, Bryston, Classe, Gryphon

Started at 17 years old with an NAD, then went to:
Denon
Rotel
B&K
EAD
PS Audio HCA-2
Pass X-250
Pass X-350
Classe 201

I now have a Bel Canto Evo4 Gen2 running bridged which I think will stick around a while. The only other one that I loved was the big Pass X-350, but I had to sell it for financial reasons at the time, that was a hell of an amp, it would be a good shootout between the BC and Pass.

I have a Samsung/Luxman amp: http://public.fotki.com/Thorens/samsung_irreal/100_0327_new.html ,Luxman D-500 CD player and Ecouton/Audiolabor LQL 150 speacers.Also vintage Marantz Model 6350 LP player,Pioneer CT 950 tape deck and SONY TC 765 Reel-to-Reel.Second AMP Symphonic Line RG-9 Mk3. Samsung MORE better,than SL.

Sony ST 515 (1978 still going strong. Gifted it to a friend's college going son. Was his first real upgrade and was he thrilled!).
Marantz ST 4800 (1998)for a separate HT system in the bedroom.
Arcam FMJ A 22 (2000).
Arcam FMJ P25 (2001).
Bryston 4BST(2002).
Bryston BP 25(2002)
ARC LS2B(2003)
Bryston 14 BST(2003)
ARC SP 16 (2004).
Marantz SR 5300 for HT.
The 14 BST blew up a few days back. Plan to trade in the 14 BST for a new 14 BSST, subject to a satisfactory deal with the local Bryston dealer.
Its been a long and enjoyable journey.
Happy listening.

Onkyo TX-11 (1983), Onkyo Integra TX108 (1986), Threshold T-100 (1997) still have it, Threshold T-200 (2005) here to stay.
