of all time it has to be the ar turntable(xa and xb variety). still competes with tables several thousand dollars.....most recently the revox elegance cd player. sounds better than my so-called hi end player, and i recently compared it to a new, well known, and well reviewed player that costs nearly 4k. it sounds every bit that players equal. considering its price (around 1k) it makes one wonder how a swiss designed, german built player could be 1/4 the price of a player that has the audiophile community going nuts.
What is the best value you have encountered?
Want to gain knowlege from years past. What items can be found used and represent a good value in terms of bang for your buck. For instance I have Polk Ls 50 speakers that I got for $125 dollars and could have had a set of DCM Timewindows for the same money. Everything I read says that the DCM's still hold thier own in terms of performance for the dollar spent. I want to know what items out there perform way above their price point.
