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.

There used to be a phono only pre-amp with a volume control. It was called the 'Super-It'. My first taste of true highend audio.
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.
my vote goes to the "stereo compact"- a receiver with a top- mounted turntable w/cartridge, 10" 2-way or 3-way speakers, cables included. harmon kardon used to make one with a dual-1219 turntable. my parents bought the fisher- i think we're talking $300 tax included.
