I've always been impressed with the entire Grandioso/Esoteric line.
I know most go for the DACs and transports, but to this day some of the finest front-end pre and amps I've heard are from them. Built like a tank within a brick shithouse within a concrete nuclear bunker. Amps have endless control over speakers and the pres are just silky smooth (best Zohan impression).
Does not suck.
