Yes: I purchased a Mitsubishi DA-F20 tuner in the 70's. It is on all the time -still sounds great. Never been serviced.

The Tice clocks. I actually bought them in 1991. Still have them as a reminder of my youthful stupidity and the superior salesmanship of The Cable Company. I look at them daily, leering and sneering at me in justifiable superiority at my idiocy and hope to be smarter each day. I keep them as a warning - and by and large keeping them has kept me from making the same moronic mistake again - although I've come close - $4800 for a pair of Stealth Indras the closest.......but I fixed that....sold 'em....didn't fix the Tices though. A good few hundred $ for some $10 worth of LCD clocks.....audioassholitude is the malady and its a constant fight to keep it at bay........ |

Perhaps way back in 1991 your system was not resolving enough to hear the Tice Clocks. Have you by any chance listened to the Tice Clocks recently? One assumes your system is a lot more revealing now than it was in 1991. |
My $10.00 "atomic" alarm clock is accurate to 1/10th of a second a year. Why would anyone pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a timpiece that is accurate to 2-3 minutes a month? There's an audio analogy in there somewhere. Back to the topic at hand: Though an old component, I nominate the Soundstream DAC-1 (designed in conjuntion with Krell!), for the uncoveted award. If one likes the sound of fingernails on chalkboards reflected by glass, then The Soundstream DAC-1 is for you. |
At $17,794.50, I did not buy thisM&K Sound MP300 White Monitor Speaker 5.1 X12 Denon AVR-X5200W But it seems a wee bit overpriced |
