What components are a good value in used market?


I just got old JBL L-series and I like the sound even compared to expensive modern speakers. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are good sounding units in used market that are quite affordable. What other components are good ones to hunt down (under $1000) ?

The best value is Phono Cartridges, for goor reason, they are very high risk. You have to trust people and their descriptions. I bought a Koetsu Rosewood Signature virtually new for $1500, but you have to be brave.
Secondly, cables of all sorts are cheap 2nd hand. Useful as the only way to test them is over time in your own system. Sell them on if you don't like them. I just bought an Audience power chord less than half price, not only great sound, but sorted a transformer hum in my integrated amp. Why it did, I don't know, just a nice bonus.
I think anything considered a classic is a value because you will never lose money and in fact some of the "classics" are appreciating.. example: Threshold 400a
Yamaha MX-1 or MX-2 power amplifier is must hear product on used market. Better than tube warmness with plenty of detail and power. These easily kick ass some high cost Krell amps.
