1. Pioneer TX-9500II
2. McIntosh MR-78
3. Marantz 20b

For me the Pioneer sounds best by a small margin (although the MR-78 is now what I listen to--go figure!) The Marantz lags behind (and it has been recently serviced.)
Yes, and perhaps a bit undervalued because they are not as nice looking as many of their Japanese competetitors, let alone Marantz or McIntosh.
