Best Component Ever, for the money

Cousinbillyl - you have good taste. I just sold a Super-It along with an old Sota Sapphire. It was a fabulous piece of cheap gear. Lovingly remembered by all who owned one, I'm sure.

Nothing in my experience has been higher value than my current Canary CA-339 amps. Pricey, but worth every nickel.

Harvey Rosenberg's SuperIt phono stage. I bought one used for about $100 back in the late 80's, hot-rodded it and used it with good Grados for years. What a delight - slightly warm but natural sound, lots of detail, not finicky about the tubes I fed it. I recently sold it with my old SOTA/Alphason/Grado combo - it needed a new wall-wart, but then it was back in business, playing music for a new generation of audiophiles.

I have a new nominee. Nelson Pass' new Aleph J amp from his First Watt company. I'm just getting the measure of one, and my reactions so far have all been of the "Holy Cow!" variety. It's busily smoking a tweaked-out PX-25 SET amp that cost ten times as much...
