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?

Sound Lab A-1. Big in every way, subtle also.
Supratek Syrah. Fantastique tube line and phono preamp.
Supratek Cabernet. Closer to the truth even then the Syrah.
EMM Labs CDSD transport and DCC2 Digital Control Center. An impressive music machine.
