What are the most under-appreciated products?

What brands of audio gear have you come across that were great, but that most of us haven't heard of?

I'll start with Cayin. Ever heard of them?

I use the Emission Labs 45 Triode tubes in my amp, and they are the equal or better of any NOS 45 tubes that I know of. You can get them perfectly matched, and brand new with a warrantee, instead of getting 50 year old tubes that are used, not matched, and uncertain lifetime. I love 'em. Not cheap, but very well made, and sound fantastic.
