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.

@inna +1!!! I am Senn guy otherwise this is the Way! R2R or Nak cassette deck? With tapes recorded off LPs, nothing beats that to my ears! But the price of admission is kinda $$$!! I mean for the newbies with no access to dad's stereos
Linn Classik with Kan speakers ($500+200 used nowadays) sound very "Linn"
Pono player ($300+) in balanced mode with under-100Ohm headphones does not require hp amp, if not for the stupid shape I would have recommended it to all my friends :-)
