Re: The Stereo stuff I hated the most

A few of my least favorite things:

Every eight-track player I ever heard, and most of the first generation of cassette players.

Anything audio that was made or sold by Sears, especially their "Studio Standard" crap that purported to be by Fisher. My dad worked for Sears for years, so guess what I had to listen to?

Koss headphones -- at least every pair I tried. Heavy, uncomfortable, and terrible-sounding to boot.

Sansui G-series receivers -- maybe it was just my brother's unit, but there was a grainy sound that set my teeth on edge.

Yamaha YP-series turntables with all-plastic plinths -- don't recall the model numbers, but the slightest bump or breeze would send the tonearm skating across the LP like Eric Heiden!
