GREAT BARGAIN BUYS YOU'VE MADE OR KNOW OF

I thought I got a bargain recently - I got a JVC QL 10 in working condition with a UA7045 in working condition - all for £400. I thought that was a bargain until the guy told me he bought it, along with the top of the line JVC Amplifier from the 70's as well as a JVC stand at a car boot sale for £25.00 - yep - diddly squat. I don't begrudge the man as he was great to deal with and passed on a bargain to me.

With that has anyone else heard of or benefitted from a similar bargain? let me know

Years ago, I bought a Dynaco Stereo 70, along with a Dynaco PAS-3 in mint condition at a garage sale for four dollars for the pair.

I  think Bob Latino's VTA ST-70 is a bargain IF you have efficient speakers. I have lived happily with mine for 10 years. It replaced a $4500 SS amp.

@artemus_5 ...

I took that ST-70 that I bought at the garage sale to a tech that I knew and he updated everything. That was a great little amp. Those offered here on A’gon are beautiful. If I were starting over, and on a budget, that’s exactly what I would build a system around.

A friend of mine is driving a pair of Legacy Signature IIIs (94db) with one of Grover Huffman’s modified ST-70s, and it is a fantastic little giant killer.
