The most trouble-prone piece I ever owned was a Thorens TD-125 Mk.2 turntable. The electronics were evidently malfunctioning, causing intermittent "motorboating". I took it to the warranty service center many times, the problem never being found or solved. The table would never exhibit the motorboating at the center, of course. I was very young, and ending up getting rid of it. Now, I would demand the whole electronic circuit board be replaced. Why that wasn’t just done to solve the problem I have no idea.
What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by?
This hobby of ours is extremely rewarding, but can also be very expensive. I don't mind paying the big bucks (if I can afford it) for better sound. But many companies out there take advantage of us poor bastards and sell us snake oil equipment at exorbitant prices. Well...This is your chance to share with other Audiogonners.
