Which components are "stupid good"?

hi all ! I guess I have a few nominations...Tekton Lore loudspeaker at $1000 per pair . These things are closer to live than about anything I have ever heard . Belles A150 amp...got used on ebay for $450 , thats adcom territory pricewise , soundwise your gonna have to spend a lot more that that to better the a150.

And the Airport Express with a Toslink

Ayres top tier gear.

With it's DACs, power supply and fully balaced outs, I think the Oppo BDP-95 is a great CD player for the price, but when you add the fact that it plays blu-rays and just about everything else...it's stupid good.

First Sound pre amps are the most musical I've tried. Upgrade the pot resistors to Vishays, upgrade the capacitors and power supply when finances allow and you get pure magic.
