Best Integrated, period.

I personally would not take the primare over the Accuphase. But thats just me.

Forgot to mention that, yes from a money stand point. If I had an unlimited bank account I love the Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 :)

Perhaps I missed it, but I'm surprised I didn't see any love spent on the TacTs.

After having lived with the APL UA-S1 which was then upgraded to the UA-S4 I can say that IMHO its the finest amp Ive heard so far.

I just bought the Ayon Spirit II and i'm very impressed with it. Out of curiosity I added the Pangea AC-9 and the amp went from very good to incredible sounding. The bass I'm getting from this integrated rivals some of my previous solid state amplifiers, and I had a few. This amplifier has one of the most fateful reproductions of tone or timbre that you'll ever hear.
