* Mid 80's I purchased a Technics rack system, it had an integrated amp

* Late 80's - Denon PMA 300V integrated (My friend from High School that got me into audio still uses this)

* Late 80's - Heath (I don't remember the model, but it is in my basement. The aforementioned friend had a brother that worked for Zeinth, the parent (?) company, so I purchased it cheap. Another friend purchased it from me years ago, but I borrowed it a couple years ago and it sits in my basement now, he doesn't want it back.)

I started with technics 4 chanel CD4 8300 I think then a sony intergrated, that was the first couple years. Then I had 3 Mcintosh mc2205s 2 bi amped my front speakers the other drove the rear channels my second try at making 4 channel work. Then I sold the macs and got a conrad johnson p1 with el34s then modded it and ran 6550s then had it rebuilt and ran it with KT88s. Just retired that amp for ayre mono blocks. Preamps were Mac mc32 then Sonic Fronters proto type, now the Ayre top of line. I am adding a Ayre phono stage.

Upgraded from an Air Tight ATM 2 to a 300B. My last amp ever.

A series of Rotel, Arcam and Musical Fidelity integrated during college years, graduated to Primare, Krell and Densen integrated, Densen pre and power combos, including the 350 mono's, a brief spell with Clearaudio balance pre/power, Pathos Inpol, Graaf Model One and 5050 power-amp, Graaf 13.5 and GM 100, Karan Acoustics KA Line and 270 power - DIVORCE - back to Densen (B-200/B-310) and now Audio Analogue Bellini-Donizetti (x2) combo. When I upgrade, either higher-end Audio Analogue gear or Audia Pre/50-100 combo.
