Best Component Ever, for the money


The other thread with this title was corrupted in its inception. Let's do this one with NO cables, power cords, isolation devices or tweaks. My vote goes to the Connoisseur turntable (integrated with arm). I don't have it anymore and you shouldn't be able to find one for sale. High end perspective for $150.

Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid Pre Amp- $500 in kit form. Incredible pre amp. Mesa Baron Amp -$1,600 used. Powerful enough to drive the Hales! Hales Rev. 2 speakers $1,000 used. Cal audio CL-10 CD changer $800 used.
The dynavector 507 tonearm. Brings the best out of just about every cartridge. It is a masterpiece of visual and engineering design.
Dburdick; your DNA-0.5 went to a good home and may see some up-grading one of these days, and as I've got a 2nd one-- maybe monos. Cheers. Craig
Mark Levinson 335 Running a Mark Levinson 39 cd player direct. The sound is so Natural.
Best ever for the money for me is the +/- $450 I spent for the Stan Warren Modified Pioneer DVD Player.
McCormack DNA-0.5 amp and Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre-amp-- both used of course.
I named this badly. Apparently the search engine uses the title w/o recognizing case. I'll throw another in for laughs, the Armstrong receiver.
