Which components knocked you out on first listen?

I've been listening to stereos since 1973 and I am still waiting to be truly knocked out by the sound of a component. I have sat in showrooms across the country and have been pleased by what I have heard but never truly blown away.
The closest I came was when I listened to a Meitner str-55 amp and VTL preamp a few years ago, sourced by a Linn Ikemi and Revel loudspeakers. However, I also have been moved by a
Apple computer cd drive, circa 1994 through a Creek 4040 and RA Lab speakers, estimated cost about $1,200; maybe more so than the Linn,Revel 10K system. How about you?

I was a teen when a friend invited me to work together for some school project when his father was listening to a pair of JBL L300, mac amps and a Nakamichi 1000 ltd, wooow!

My other notable system was a friends all- tandberg equipment with 4 jbl100 setup.

Still miss that feeling!
