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".

@mesch 

wasn't meaning that silly ground lift adapter was for you

was just answering the op's query about best bang for buck... the denominator is 88 cents so that lil guy must be the champ 😁

hope you are enjoying the holiday season... 

@jjss49 Yes, I figured. As a cure for for those afflected with that 60Hz hum, would have to be 'best bang for under a buck', shockingly so.

Hope your holiday season is going well, as well.

The best Bang For The Buck I ever owned was, the Otari MX 5050 BII-2!!!!

 

Meadowlark Audio Shearwater Hot Rods. Found one owner, never moved pair  on Craigslist in San Francisco for $500. Never looked back 

About 12 years ago I picked up a vintage Kenwood KD-650 turntable for $150-. After a complete detail and polishing it is absolutely perfect. I installed the entry level DS Audio E1 cartridge and power supply, a perfect match. Sorry, 

NOT FOR SALE.
