Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?

I've had quite a few "Bang for Your Buck" deals in the last 6 or so years since I first started rt buying, selling, repairing (and as my girlfriend will say) hoarding home stereo equipment but the deals that stand out the most all came from a local pawnshop here in Mississippi. Back in 2010 I got a Lexicon RV-5 receiver with the original remote, calibration microphone and original manual in almost mint condition for $175.I have owned at least 15 to 20 different receivers in this time period and the Lexicon was easily the best sounding one yet, still regret selling it to this day. Not to long after the lexicon purchase, I strolled into this pawnshop and walked out with a beautiful pair of jamo d450 tower speakers and matching jamo d4sub all three finished in the dark apple wood I paid $200 cash for the lot and still have them. And last but not least my jamo are powered by an Audiocontrol Pantages Amplifier that I have $145 invested in. I just can't overstate how much I love my monthly visits to the local pawnshops you just never know what you'll find.

Picked up a Adcom 555Mk 2 amp for $50 at a yard sale - owner said it stopped working all of a sudden - got it home threw a couple fuses in it and it has been working daily for me now for 18 years

Check out Sweet Vinyl products. Their 'click and pop" removing components work magic on noisy vinyl. Allows one to listen to older, oft played discs, without all of the inherent noise on second hand recordings....but one still needs to clean their vinyl to rid the detritus usually found on used discs.

My first real component.... a Sansui AU9900 integrated amp in 1980 for $200
