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.

Ikea Lack is best deal in audio I know. I have owned five racks, including fairly expensive to me Finite Elemente and SRA. The lack makes high performance shelving accessible for everyone.

Another one is 47 labs OTA cable "kits" with the caveat that need stay under about 2 feet in length to avoid frequency imbalance. For the price, though, their tone is great, they and crush my drawer of high profile branded cables for similar cost.
