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

Red Dragon s500 power amp, especially now that the price is discounted to $1,000. The clarity, accuracy, and power is unreal and the custom designed input stage makes pairing the unit with a passive pre/tube pre a breeze. No affiliation, just a happy customer :)

That little $129 pair of pioneer speakers from Andrew Jones is just silly.

A fanless, low heat laptop. By far, one of my better investments for enjoying music while working online...which is most of the time. No computer noise = golden silence.

Boston Acoustics A40 speakers
Various Heathkits I assembled
SOTA turntable with  SME arm (used)
Blue Jean cables

Still have my A40s.  Refoamed and sounding better than ever.  

Grado sr80e phones gets you a good ways there for only $100 new.
