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

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.

'End Game'....It's or yours?

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.

Though not an integrated amplifier, I'd throw in the CODA S5.5. 50 WPC pure class A, and more in A/B; 100 amp current capable. An end game solid state amp for me, drives all of my speakers easily (even vintage Infinity RS Kappa 7s).

Doug Dale at CODA found a supply of hard to find "high bandwidth" transistors, and upgraded the S5.5 with those......somewhere mid 2023. I'm not sure why they didn't indicate a different model, like the S5.6 or some such; but it is a great SS amp.

I don't know about end game but I quite like my Gato AMP-150 AE
