what is the best deal you ever got on audiogon

That would be my Audioprism Mantissa tubed preamp ($700) if I recall correctly. Any and every upgrade I've ever tried shown clearly through this preamp...I suspect it could never be a bottle neck in any system.

Audio Mirror D1 Signature DAC. I bought two of them they were that good a deal.

the hand's down best deal for me was my speaker's, my friken eye's allmost poped out of my head when i saw a mint pair of xrt 22's in my state for $2,500.

im pretty sure that the guy who listed them musta been severly hammered while he wrote the ad, i constantly see guy's mispell mcintosh as (macintosh) but this spelling was crazy, he spelled it like maicinatowish.

even if he was a bit tipsy he took great care of his gear, i still check his name to see if something like that pop's up again in his listing's.

right behind that i picked up an extremely clean 3 pc matched set of mcintosh xl1 monitor's & xl1w subwoofer for $290.

there has been alot of other smokin deal's ive leaped on but to this day nothing top's the xrt 22's.

Probably the Dodson 217 Mark II D DAC with upgraded 218-like software. Odyssey Stratos Extreme monoblocks were also great, but less of a discount from their original price than the Dodson.
