Re: The Stereo stuff I hated the most

The number one thing on my list of hated stereo equipment has to be the Rotel RA-820 integrated amplifier.

One thing that always struck me about it was that it's a remarkably small unit, about two inches tall, and about ten inches deep. Looking in through the ventillation grate on the top, you could see that it was mostly empty too - just one circuit board in the bottom of the case and a power transformer at the back right of the unit.

The sound was consistent with this too - small and empty. It was terrible. It's sitting around doing nothing right now; good vintage tube equipment powers the speakers instead.
