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.

Jolida 102b Integrated all-tube amp. $580. Hands down.

Bonus: Stock EL84 (and other) tubes are now Sovteks, BTW, so you don't have to sub out the Chinese tubes anymore.

To me, best value for money is some cheapish trannie radio. You get a tuner, antenna, amp and loudspeaker in one package. You don't have to buy software, it's all around you. Doesn't come cheaper.....
