Sony's first digital preamp. Traded in a nice Hafler Dh110 I mde from kit. big mistake. That Sony sounded like crap.Counterpoint S2000 preamp. Bought it used locally, it was a wonderful sounding preamp, broke, then broke again. Traded it for other junk.
Sony Laserdisc player, garbage. returned twice for repair, when got it back sold it and bought a Pioneer!Sony Beta videotape player, worked great for pretty long. finally broke, repaired and broke again.
Sony 38" TV had two years and it died. Let it sit for three years no TV because I was annoyed. This was the worst chunk of Sony crap I bought. Really made me mad. Finally just stuck it out on landing, and bought a 42" Sony plasma (why was i a sucker for Sony??? Though this Plasma has been great 7 years now)
Two Garrard Zero 100 bought dirt cheap. All i learned was Garrard made insanely complicated TT in the end, using five parts where one would do,
I tossed them into the trash. Total waste of time. Worst pile of crap i ever made the mistake if wasting money on.
