This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree

I forgot. The very best turntable manufacturer of all time, better than Caliburn, SAT, SME, and Techdas is.......BSR. Particularly if it came as part of an all-in-one with record changer mechanism. 

Anybody seen Leemurray and Kenjit in the same room?

Doppelgängers.

Sony Walkman, iPhone + earbuds. Anything Millercarbon is currently shilling.

if the list is meant to be decent makers of vintage production equipment, you could do worse. 

Say, a Technics SL1200 or B & O linear tracking table?
Nakamichi Dragon

I notice the list has no speakers.
How about some Bose, Cerwin Vegas or JBLs. . . probably many of those paired with the listed brands back in the day. 

I still use an 80s Yamaha integrated. 
Is it the best?  Nah, far from it. Is it  decent sounding, trouble free and paid for? Yes. 

High end stuff is like comparing Ferraris or Porsches to a Ford, Chevy, Honda or Toyota. 

Ultra high end stuff is like comparing a Formula 1 car to a daily driver. At least price wise. 

Sometimes there's something to be said for Honda, Ford, Chevy, Toyota.
