Sure. Replaced a $3700 pair of Conrad Johnson CD player/transport units with a $300 Pioneer DV-414 and couldn't get over the sonic improvement. That's the most dramatic but there have been many others. Not "downgrades," except in the eyes of some of my audiobuddies, until they heard them. :-)
Ever downgrade and have better sound?
not sure if we will ever get anyone to admit, but wondering if any of you out there went to a cheaper product and found the sound quality was better?
maybe even a cheaper cable within the same line of cables which mated better to your set up?
