bang for the buck

How about a list of gear with great price/performance ratios. Any gear, any price as long as the performance and sound quality completely overshadow the price. I'll start this off with the obvious-

fmr rnp mic pre- 475 us
fmr rnc stereo comp- 175 us
event tr8 monitors- 500 (sounded identical to the 1000 dollar 20/20's bas maybe not quite as loud)
adk mics
studio projects mics (go ahead and slam me, my ears like em)

behringer cable tester. Can't wait to get one, should make things so darn easy. Can't say anything 'bout the sound, bu't it's Behringer so just listen.

Captain Cook rum from the Lidl in Germany. Damn that stuff is godlike.
