Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?


This is the place to share. Please no shills.

Joe Curcio upgrade for the OTL amps in the Acoustat Monitor 4 E-stats from the late 1970's.  The increased speed, openness of the soundstage and base extension were unbelievable.  Paired with one of the most neutral preamps, the Audio Research SP-10 Mk2, a system that still satisfies today.
IFi iPhono preamp.  Unbelievable sound for the money.  

Also I just picked up a pair of mint Spendor SP1's for less than $900 !  They look brand new and have midrange to die for - like Quad ESL 57 good.  Just beautiful sound.  They are keepers......
Kef 107.2 for $1400.00
Martin Logan CLS-llz for $850 - with new(ish) panels and the old ones
Mirage 750's for $200 Cdn - great speaker for the money!
Adcom GFA 555 mk ll for $300, sounds pretty good. It drives the ML's pretty well and sounds surprisingly good for a low end "high end" amp.
The one I like the best is the Cary SLP-03 I got for $1000 about a year and a half ago. I love it!
Good product for the money ??  I just had Johnny Walker on the rocks, glass 3/4 full mind you , and shot of decent tequila and a soda  and beautiful young Chinese bartender serve me for 12 bucks . Now that is stupid for the money .Plus gave me something to think about  on the way home !
seanheis, which Gemtune 1501 do you have, the one with 6bq5's or the 6AD10's?  I was thinking about one of these but went a different way when a reasonable Tandberg 3012 popped up.  Always wanted to hear one of these Tandbergs, stupid good at $250 because it was a little dirty, cleaned up, now a strong 8-9/10 cosmetically and sounds great!

I once picked up a pristine Proceed PCD-2 for $400, thought that was stupid good for the money, never should have sold it (that never should have sold it list gets longer and longer)........
