Best Integrated, period.

I haven't listened to every integrated available and honesty submit nothing can be considered the absolute best. What I can say is the Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 is one of the best components that I've ever had in my system. The Bricasti M1 DAC and Artemis EOS speakers are the only other components that made me just say "WOW". The S2 is powerful, nuanced, and very well made.

With the correct system synergy a Rowland integrated is tough to beat if your goal is the best price/performance ratio.

And this includes many of the cost no object separates that I have, and have had over the many years I've been involved in this wonderful hobby. As far as integrateds goes. Nobody is even close.

The best separates are going to be superior to the best integrated.

+ 1. As much as I love my current Vitus SIA-025 which I consider to be the most musical sounding ss class A integrated, I plan on upgrading to Vitus separates in the near future.
