Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?


Yes, the CJ ART, various Audio Research were all great...but I do remember lower priced items that gave much pleasure for their price.

In no order, The Large Advent,  DQ-10, Nakamichi SR receivers,  inexpensive Nordost cables, many tuners giving good vibes vis "FREE" music.  Also, in a different way, the Nakamichi TM radios and SoundSpace systems. 

There was a solid state ARC pre that was very good....ls-12?

And I do  remember "free" listening at some friends homes/systems that were great values. I was exceedingly lucky to have a best friend that bought most of my gear when I was "moving on".  It gave me the chance to listen to what I had had compared to what I currently had....at least once what I had sold to him was better than what my replacement gear was...........the old "live and learn".

Magic Eraser "sponge" for cleaning my Benz Ruby III cartridge.  It polishes the stylus and costs under $1.  I've been using it for 8 years now.  That's a bargain.      Other more expensive bargains is purchase of my two sets of speakers, the Legacy Focus for $2500 and Signature IIIs for $1600.  Compares to 4X to 5X more expensive speakers (but with superior bass, lower on the Focuses, tighter and punchier on the Sig IIIs). 
The Synergistic Research HFTs.  I use 32 which eliminated the need for front and rear quadradic diffusion panels which can be very expensive (Acoustic Fields or Vicoustic brands not cheap GIKs).
