Have you ever bought something you've never heard of?

And liked it?  

I've gambled on a number of used cables with mixed success. I recently ordered a used Graham Slee CuSat50 interconnect. I needed a longer interconnect for my sacd player. I run it into my dac for cds, but that doesn't work for sacds.

Anyway, this cable is pretty darn good. I didn't get a smoking deal. I paid $175 delivered. I see them on ebay for around $240 with shipping and tax (from the UK).

A nice surprise for sure.  I have a box of cables that didn't turn out as well.  Lol.

I like many others do a lot of research before purchasing. This is typical when purchasing relatively expensive items.

Have you ever bought something you've never heard of?

If never heard means:

  1. brand+model No
  2. Within own system Yes
  3. in other systems Yes

Aren't 'never heard' and 'never heard of' two different things? Looks like the OP asked about the second and most of the responses are to the first.

And I have bought items I'd never heard of, mostly smaller tweaks, and I'd bought things I'd never heard of until about a week or so before I bought them even though they'd been going for years.

Heard Never.

Heard of yes and after I heard them I bought 95% of them. I only do auditions in my home in my listening ethos.
