I'm surprised the Vinnie Rossi L2iSE hasn't been mentioned. It bested two set ups of separates in my system:
Pass Labs XP32 driving First Watt S-1s and a Shindo Giscours driving Pass Labs XA30.8. And not by a little, by a lot. I now have Linlai 2A3 tubes doing the DHT work in the pre and it is even better. The VR L2iSE is driving my 92db sensitive Cube Audio Nenuphar speakers. Most engrossing sound I've experienced to date.
Only Shindo gear I have left is my 301 Record Player. Don't think that's going anywhere.
