what is the best deal you ever got on audiogon

That would be my Audioprism Mantissa tubed preamp ($700) if I recall correctly. Any and every upgrade I've ever tried shown clearly through this preamp...I suspect it could never be a bottle neck in any system.

Audio Mirror D1 Signature DAC. I bought two of them they were that good a deal.

the hand's down best deal for me was my speaker's, my friken eye's allmost poped out of my head when i saw a mint pair of xrt 22's in my state for $2,500.

im pretty sure that the guy who listed them musta been severly hammered while he wrote the ad, i constantly see guy's mispell mcintosh as (macintosh) but this spelling was crazy, he spelled it like maicinatowish.

even if he was a bit tipsy he took great care of his gear, i still check his name to see if something like that pop's up again in his listing's.

right behind that i picked up an extremely clean 3 pc matched set of mcintosh xl1 monitor's & xl1w subwoofer for $290.

there has been alot of other smokin deal's ive leaped on but to this day nothing top's the xrt 22's.

Probably the Dodson 217 Mark II D DAC with upgraded 218-like software. Odyssey Stratos Extreme monoblocks were also great, but less of a discount from their original price than the Dodson.

I've purchased some great equipment at oustanding prices, but by far the best deal I've received on Audiogon is the free advice that has allowed me to build a terrifically satisfying system.
