Personal amp evolution

01. Optonica integrated (1987 @ 14 years of age)
02. McIntosh MC2100/MX113
03. Carver integrated (above McIntosh blew up)
04. Sony receiver (WAF-influenced purchase)
05. Audio Innovations ai500 EL34 (my first tube integrated!)
06. Rega Brio (WAF-influenced purchase)
07. SimAudio Moon (boy oh boy was this one awesome!)
08. Antique Sound Labs Orchid 2A3 (simply lovely)
09. Lexicon proc./Adcom 5 ch./Rotel 2 ch. (WAF-influenced delving into home theater - it's still around in the living room)
10. Audio Innovations ai500 (I got one again and ahhhh, in my very own listening room...finally in 2004 @ 31 years of age)

Combine #10 (with Pearl cryo'd SED 6L6GCs/Sovtek 6922s/Sovtek 12AX7LPSs) with a pair of Louis Chochos' Omega Loudspeakers' TS3 Standards, sourcing from a Thorens TD160 Super/Benz ACE/Mission tonearm combo, all running over DH Labs Silver Sonic cabling and you've got an extremely precise and yet warm/lush sound.

Cheers!
