McIntosh MA-9000, soon to be the MA-12000 (on order). I heard a few others on this thread and the Sim Audio Moon 700i was nearly in my home. Instead, I went with the features of the Mc, along with the equally, if not more pleasing sound to my ear. I'm a sucker for the esthetics as well. I grew up with meters on every component and love them. Lastly, there is something to be said for resale value if I ever take another path. My money, my ears and I couldn't be happier.
