Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?

Not too long ago, a 'friend' of mine sold me his Adcom GFP-750 for the remarkable price of $200. He was being kind, of course, and he sooo much wanted me to pitch the old, crappy, Yamaha preamp that I had at the time. In retrospect, it was probably more important to him than it was to me.

I was entirely unprepared for the demo. I just knew that there was NO WAY that a preamp would make more than a minor improvement in the sound of my modest stereo. Naturally, I couldn't have been more wrong - and I still have that preamp.

Jetkitty, I'd say your friend is the "best bang for the buck".

For me, this has to be the Spica TC-50 speakers which were $550 new back in the late '80s. At least when used with a sub (and replacing its Audax tweeters with the same), I seem to find it impossible to "upgrade" these speakers- when I listen to other speakers, it just make me appreciate them more.

pipedream 21 s recently right here on AG. Its the Rock n Roll speaker system from hell. Just what the Dr ordered!

Tyler Reference Monitors, stands, sub, external cross overs & cables from another Agon member for $1200.00. The absolute best money I have put into my system yet. Even at full retail these are worth every penny.
