Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?


This is very subjective, and your opinion on your own systems/items is all that really counts.

From the beginning to now, these would fit that category for me: (in no order)

Original Large Advents
Dahlquist DQ-10
Conrad Johnson ART pre.
Original Monster interconnects and speaker wires.
Nakamichi SR-3a
AR Turntable
ADC XLM II
Audio Research LS-12
Magnepan 1.6
Magnepan 20
Wireworld Gold Eclipse III
Audio Technica Electret Condenser headphones 
Magnum Dynalab Etude and 108 tuners
Magnum Dynalab Receiver (original)
And in those "early days" special pressings and imported Jazz albums. 

There may be others I am forgetting, but these were very good items along my journey.

I haven’t had much luck with finding great deals on speakers or DACs yet. I’m wondering how you guys are able find good discounts and prices? Are there good prices found here on Audiogon?

The best deals I’ve gotten have been on little novelty items like this Heathkit morse code oscillator that I got on eBay for practically nothing. It’s definitely just a trinket, but I’ve been able to do some interesting things with it.
