What is your favorite budget audio component?

Just wondering for the sake of curiosity and general sharing and education among audiophiles, “What is your favorite budget audio component?” And as a bonus, “Why do you consider it budget and why is it good?” 
Since budget might be relative, I would say audio gear like MBL, Wilson MAXX speakers or anything ultra high end should not be considered.

Still have and love my 30+ year old Audible Illusions Modulus II pre-amp.
I believe it was about $450.00 new. Still going strong and sounding good...Jim
