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.

The Dynaco Stereo 70 has to be the best component ever, for the money.

Pioneer PL-12DII.

This table could be had, brand new, for about $75 or so. It has a fairly decent arm, good speed stability and great isolation.

Still an awesome buy today.

Best for the buck in SS pream used under $400.

It a Meridian 565. It has a build in dac same chip
than the Meridian cd 508.20/506.20 CS4329. One analogue
input, it can be use with a sub and it a 5.1 processor!

New it was $3500/4999 and i like to use a pream that
include a dac.It wonderfull in 2ch set up.When i think
to upgrade the Meridian 565 is there to stay...
