Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?

For me, it was buying a pair of used Magnepan MG-12 speakers for $550.00 from a dealer in Oregon. I had heard the 1.6 before, but not the smaller 12's. These speakers have TOTALLY changed the way I listen to music - I may eventually upgrade to larger Maggies, but I think I will always keep the 12's around.

What about the rest of you?

Linn turntable,dynavector 505 arm and dynavector ruby cartridge all thrown free with my first major purchase of electrostatic speakers and threshold electronics 30yrs ago.
Otherwise, a (tested) perfect luxman R117 receiver with remote for $125 on ebay and my (9/10) magnepan 1.6 QR speakers for less than half list price.

Addendum:
Two pairs of Apex signature speaker wires (purchased from on line reviewer) as well as my Cogen Hall EM digital cable. ( I will never part with these cables). In retrospect, these were more of a gift than a sale from the prior owner.

When Federated stopped carrying Luxman equipment, late 70's early 80's ?, the West LA store blew it out at more than 50% off. I bought the T-12 tuner; C-12 preamp,and G-11 equalizer for $825($1785retail) new in sealed boxes! I used a Dynakit Stereo-70 then an Eagle 2 to drive Sonab-116's and later Dalquist DQ-10'si
