Integrated that blew you away

For me it's the Norma IPA-140. Consistent high performer, and a steal if you can find them used. Simaudio Moon options have also regularly impressed me. I haven't heard Luxman in a long time, but I'm highly interested in hearing the 509z.

What about the T +A PA 2000 R integrated amplifier?  Their web site says "Building neat, compact integrated amplifiers offering high output power and superb sound quality is an art at which T+A has no peer. As proof of this claim we present the PA 2000 R integrated amplifier. It is incredibly dynamic, powerful and incisive. There are two reasons behind these characteristics: the extremely linear output stages with very low negative feedback, which are a completely new development, and the new form of mains power supply employed. We designed the latter specifically for audio devices, to ensure that they are ultra-stable under load, with no danger of collapse even when handling extremely high peak levels. The result is that the PA 2000 R can deliver a continuous power of more than 200 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms loudspeakers, enabling it to drive impedance-critical speakers whilst maintaining effortless control. Gas-tight gold-contact relays are employed to switch loudspeakers, inputs and internal signal circuits with total precision and zero losses. Separate tone controls are present for each channel, and they and the Loudness function can be by-passed completely. An optional audiophile phono pre-amplifier module for MM or MC can simply be plugged in. For operation in a surround system the amplifier can be set to Surround Pass Through mode, selected by a trigger signal"

One review said "the T+A PA 2000 R is regarded as a very musical and open-sounding amplifier, with a reputation for clarity, refinement, and dynamic performance".   I am considering this amp for myself.

What are your speakers?  Speaker + Integrated synergy is very important so it would be helpful to know what speakers gel with this GATO Integrated. 

I own an ASR Emitter II Exclusive. You'd have to hear it to believe it!

Luxman L-509Z….  If you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up.
