Best or most profound sleeper product

As with wine, I think that price certainly does not guarantee quality. Oddly, many people in this hobby refer to their equipment by its' price in the same manner that people will refer to " a hundred dollar bottle of wine." I have had many wines that were less that $20 that were pure joy. I think that the same must be true in this hobby. An example: used Pioneer PD-65, $300 for a good transport or Conrad J pv-10. For the benefit of other newbies (like myself), please list the 'sleepers' that you have found. Cheers

Good thread. My objective has always been to get the best possible sound out of reasonable price equipment. Currently I am very happy with the following purchases, all through audiogon:

C-j PV10a $600
MusicHall MMF-5 turntable $350 new
MusicHall MMF-cd25 cd player $450 new
Musical Fidelity A3cr amp $875 (dealer demo with warranty)
Spica TC-60's $450 (dealer demo with warranty)

I just picked up a 1973 Kenwood tuner for $65, had Don Scott modify it for around $200 and hope to install it this weekend.

Good value is always the prerequiste, especially here in the Midwest.
