this has been a good thread, but at this point, it seems like a market research tabulation of what is out there in people's systems, irrespective to the applications, features, and performance parameters desired ... not sure it is all that useful for someone seeking directional input as a buyer
as the playing field is so incredibly broad, it might be helpful to break out by some useful segmentations/characteristics such as
power output
tube v solid state
'standard' old school integrated (line stage + power section) vs full meal deal (dac, phono, dsp, streaming....)
and of course, price level
having a thread include a ps audio sprout @$500 vs a $12000 gryphon 300 vs a $5000 lta berning circuit tube unit is a broad broad waterfront...
