What's your best audio "find"

I am another happy Auricle cable user. I have Auricle Silver Kaptons in my system, and they are very smooth for a silver IC. My custom SE integrated excels in female vocals, and the Auricle Silver Kaptons do not have a hint of sibilance in my system. These silvers are detailed and musical, a very hard combination to find. These cables are very balanced once broken in. Bass was too heavy at first but improved after 50 hours.

The Kapton Silvers are Auricle's best cables to date. I also own Auricle copper ICs which are excellent as well.

I don't think anyone can beat Tbromgard's haul but for me the best "find" was my KEF Q90 speakers from Craigslist. I had a pair of Athena LS300B speakers that weren't for me. I stumbled upon the KEFs by accident on CL. I paid $160 for the pair and they were in MINT condition. I just had to drive 25 miles away from home to meet him. No issues @ all and the guy even had the original boxes and packaging.

Morrow cables SP-3 bi-wire and PS audio AC-10 and AC-12.

Best in terms of pure value may be the mhdt Constantine DAC used for $350 or so.

Its SS rather than tube so it seems to fly under most peoples radar but is a giant killer IMHO. My digital with this compares quite favorably even to some of the best vinyl systems I have heard.

Roku Soundbridge for $129 new at Best Buy a couple years back may be the best investment in sound overall I have made, especially combined with the mhdt DAC.

Also, Ipicked up a pair of OHM Super Walsh 2s (100S3 drivers) for $600 used here on agon a few years back and that has been another giant killing cornerstone.

DNM reson ICs for under $50 also a fantastic score!

I know somebody who picked up a pair of OHm Fs for free that turned out to be in good working order. Can't beat that!!!
