Personal amp evolution

ok. lemme see if i can keep these straight.

sharp md-x7 (minidisc minisystem)
sony str-db930 (receiver)
acurus 200five (added to the receiver's preamp outputs)
sony str-db930 (sold the acurus)
acurus 200five (i got wishy-washy and bought another one)
aragon 8008x3b (replaced 200five)
aragon 8008bb (replaced 8008x3b for front mains, the 8008x3b became center and surround amp)
aragon palladium ii monos (replaced 8008bb)
aes sixpacs (demoed but returned. kept the palladiums)
plinius sa-102 (replaced the palladiums)
cary slm-200 (finally, tube nirvana with great bass extension)

nothing on the horizon. i think **crosses fingers** that i am done with the ever-changing amp.

I started out with a very poopy amp. cant remember what is was. Then i bought a carver. Remember when they used to use switching power supplies. It was somewhat poopy. From their i bought a marantz 5 channel power amp. This was my venture into 5 channel. Like the Carver it was somewhat poopy. But not as poopy as the Carver. Now, back to my senses, i bought a two channel amp. This being Blue Circle, and it isnt poopy at all.

I owned the Tenor 75 for about a year. I did a head to head with the CAT JL2. The CAT is in a different leaque. In my opinion it's the best amp in the world. I own the Verity Audio Parsifal. Maybe the results will be different with another speaker. I did do the comparison with a Talon Khorus as well and once again the CAT was head and shoulders above the Tenor.
