I thought the NEC T-710 tuner was every bit as good as the highly rated B&K TS-108 that I had just prior to the NEC, if not better. Although, I never heard the A7 or A10 integrated amps, they were very robust and well built units and also were well regarded.
Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation?
My time in audio (and, video) goes way back. How far back? Does selling console stereos with ceramic cartridges mounted on record changers go back far enough? Things were very competitive back then. And, energetic and creative peddlers of consumer electronics didn't hold anything back.
Here's some examples from my memory. Maybe you can add some of your own?
Maggotbox: Magnavox
RCA Victim: RCA Victor
Kindlingwood: Kenwood
Soundshitty: Sansui
Altec Lansing "Voice of the Outhouse": "Voice of the Theater"
Karmon Hardon: Harmon Kardon
And, who can forget?: "No highs. No lows. It must be Bose."
Or: "You can knock a Yamaha. But, you can't Nakamichi."
Enjoy.
