Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
This is very subjective, and your opinion on your own systems/items is all that really counts.
From the beginning to now, these would fit that category for me: (in no order)
Original Large Advents Dahlquist DQ-10 Conrad Johnson ART pre. Original Monster interconnects and speaker wires. Nakamichi SR-3a AR Turntable ADC XLM II Audio Research LS-12 Magnepan 1.6 Magnepan 20 Wireworld Gold Eclipse III Audio Technica Electret Condenser headphones Magnum Dynalab Etude and 108 tuners Magnum Dynalab Receiver (original) And in those "early days" special pressings and imported Jazz albums.
There may be others I am forgetting, but these were very good items along my journey.
Back to the beginning... 1-AR turntable SME 3009 tonearm w Shure V15 Type III Hafler DH-220 Spica TC-50s Dynavector 10X5 MKII MC cartridge Oppo BDP-93 3D Blu-ray Player Magnepan MG-1.5QR 2-Linn Klassik (office system) Grado SR 60, 80, 225, 325 (office system)
I had already given up on tubes for amplifiers. The PFR made me open my eyes for solid state in the preamplifier stage. All for the outrageous sum of $850 (used) on ebay. Incredible bargain IMO.
