Best bargain find ever ?

I picked up a Fisher 500 C receiver at a yard sale way back when for $1.

My 3rd wife!!

Nakamichi cassatte deck mr 1 for $25, Rotel rc 995 for $150
without the remote. Atec speaker 879A for $100, Fisher tube amp x100 $10.50.

I won an auction for a storage container last week for $125.00. It had a bunch of personal paperwork,some Big Lots type furniture, a Mitsubishi 40" TV that had to weigh 250 lbs., a crappy Fisher "all-in-one" stereo, boxes and boxes of housewares and other useless items. The bargain came in the way of over 1000 CDs, most in pristine condition.

I paid $600 used here on AGon for my OHM "Super" Walsh 2s, which are fairly recent 100S3 CLS drivers in refurbed original OHM Walsh 2 cabinets. These are essentially full range and can compete with most anything out there when set up properly in typical size rooms.

Denon DL103R for $300 is another giant killer that can compete with the best.

The NAD 7020 receiver that I picked up in a pawn shop for $25 back in the 80's is still garnering rave reviews (from me) pinch hitting as a pre-amp only in my smaller family room system. I normally use this as a spare but I am hard pressed to replace it this time around as a pre-amp only.

mhdt Constantine DAC for just over $300 used here on Agon, another big hitter for very little. Its sister tube DAC the Paradisea cost a TAD more and is just a TAD behind in the performance category.

Tube Audio Designs TAD 125 Hibachi monoblocks cost me well under $1000 here on Agon, and could the last amp many people would ever need.
