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".

My best "bang for the buck" actually wasn't my purchase, but my wife's. Somehow, before we met, she had attended the closing of tech hifi in Durham, NC and purchased a JVC TV, amplifier and cassette deck (1984 by the way) and a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's. All for less than $1,300. The MSRP for the speakers in 1984 which was around $700 per pair. 26 years later and they still sound great. I know they can be upgraded, but I actually like the way they sound now that I have a proper amount of the right kind of power.
