Amplifiers! What do you have? What do you use?

[Nick_G]

Just the one amp in use here, a late 1980s JVC AX-Z1010, which I think might have been from the same range as the OP's JVC AX-A441. It's a big TOTL 'titanium' finished beast with a very good built-in DAC.

I also have in storage a previous Rotel RA-04 and a mid-1970s Sony STR-7065A receiver, if that counts.

I'm in the midst of a change in direction regarding amps having just sold a Naim 202,200 napsc and Puresound P10, T10 combination. Whilst I source the new power amp- which will be a Radford STA25 partnered by an Audiolab 8000C- I am using my Unitiqute 2. It certainly hasn't disgraced itself and I can live with it for the time being. I have my fingers crossed that the Audiolab can perform reasonably and if it does I will leave it in the system. The MC photo stage might not be the best match for the Transfig Spirit I currently use but it could surprise me.
I have heard a Radford driving Tannoys before but I suppose that until I have one here in my set- up I won't be able to gauge whether the change of amps was worth undertaking.

Paul, do you have any views/opinions on the performance of your AVI S2000 MP+P?

Does it seem to have any characteristics?
