???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???

Pretty simple question..
While I’m sure the "No Such Thing" crowd will make sure they represent,I’m not interested in their rhetoric..
I am however,most interested to hear from those who have heard integrated amplifiers they could get off the merry go round with,ESPECIALLY if it was on the more budget end of cost..For myself it would have to be the Sugden A21SE but that was 2 years ago,before the cost climbed to $4000.00......
Thanks for participating..

With respect for akg_ca's response, my most musical mid-fi integrated was the Onix OA21 with SOAP. Old British amp with simple design and great phono preamp wasn't a power house, but worthy of consideration.

Pioneer SA-1000 integrated amplifier, purchased at a garage sale in Valley Village CA for $10.00.  The seller originally wanted $20, but it did not power up, so he took the ten.  Went to Frye's Electronics in Burbank and bought a couple of fuses.  I still enjoy the sound of the SA-1000.

Although I mentioned the Coda S5.5 above (my main stereo amp), I agree with the fellow who recommended the Rega Aethos integrated. A real sleeper.
