What is your favorite budget audio component?

Just wondering for the sake of curiosity and general sharing and education among audiophiles, “What is your favorite budget audio component?” And as a bonus, “Why do you consider it budget and why is it good?” 
Since budget might be relative, I would say audio gear like MBL, Wilson MAXX speakers or anything ultra high end should not be considered.

You guys go ahead and listen to all that stuff, I'd rather stick to my Grado phones and tape deck. We are talking about audiophile budget components not grandma budget components.

And this is something that might be an ultimate bargain.

Yeah, I'd say Grado 225e headphones, $200. Not good enough for me but for youtube listening mostly okay.
Next would be $5000 used previous generation Gryphon Diablo integrated amp with or without phono. Great value even if not exactly inexpensive.
