What's your best audio "find"


Several years ago I stumbled upon some old McIntosh tube separates at a garage sale: tuner, amp and pre-amp in mint condition for $50 each. I bought 'em, and I think it is probably the best deal ever. Can you beat it?

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.
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!!!
Morrow SP-4 speaker cables and Morrow MA-4 interconnects with silver Eichmann bullet plugs. They have transformed my system sounding much more musical, realistic, and emotionally engaging.
