Looks to be be more than 90% is solid-state in the voting, so no surprise that tube gear (Cary, Zesto, etc.) is not mentioned much. Have certainly enjoyed my Cary gear over the years.

Ah, sorry, I forgot I had posted earlier.

That was before I heard Constellation. And, I forgot about the Wavacs! How could I do that? Doh! (smacks head with palm emoji...)

Ah, well, there's my top 8 amps...

I don't think Technical Brain is in business anymore, either. I think I heard somewhere their amps kept blowing up from impedance curve "challenges".

I’ve owned D’Agostino Momentum, Sim Audio 860a, pass labs and tried many others
The one I’m rocking now is a Leben CS600X and man I’m blown away. Bass, dynamics and silent … not at all what I was expecting from tubes. So impressed with this amp
It’s driving my Wharfedale Linton while my O/96 are being built.
