Owners of "Giant Killers"?


We often read of folks who have heard "Giant Killer" products: amps, preamps, digital sources...

We also often read about products that are tried, and are "excellent and worth the audition", but are not chosen for the listeners's system because of a better product.

I'm wondering how many Audiogoners actually own a "Giant Killer"?

Has someone heard a component that offers great value, but beyond the dollar value offers perfomance that has truly been good enough to replace the "Giant"?

Hi Grant , I have yet to stop being stunned by this amp. I have the rich midrange and smooth , liquid highs that I needed when I went tube a few years back with intense bass control I left tubes because of . What this amp does however is have the stronghold on recreating space. You read about this all the time " space around instruments , space captured in the recording studio , space captured between musicians ect " but its another thing when you hear it come alive in your room. Its quite startling and something I will forever hold as a reference if I move in another direction some day....far off .
I have a lot of Consonance gear and it replaced some real expensive big name gear for a lot less dough...I'm real happy.
Doctor's Rx-Wilson X-2,Lamm,ARC,Meitner. This is a site on audiogon that talks about my giant-killer-the Oritek X-2 interconnects. Ori says that even a small amount seems to dominate a sytem. .4 meters or less costs $329.
My previous post on Oritek X-2 interconnects forgot to mention that Oneobgyn is the author. I also want to mention the current Nuforce 8, which costs $1600, as a giant killer.
