Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment

There is a CD player with a good reputation that goes by the name fog. I don't think any audiophile would want a CD player to sound foggy. What other names do you know which are a contradiction in terms or are simply unpleasant sounding.

I have read that the ubiquitous K used by Linn is to emphasize their logo. They are committed to using it to remind people of their original TT's logo and that the source is of utmost importance. I can't reproduce it exactly but it is a V with a line under it (presumably a record) to emulate a stylus on a platter and looks like a K when flipped line down. This continues despite the company's wide range of products.

I learned recently that the "TG" in Bob Crump's "TG Audio" stood for "Throbbing Gristle". So yes, he made a "Throbbing Gristle Line Sucker"...

"Eichmann bullets" sounds more like a Pornstar than a connector. Need to re-think that one....

More like Adolph Eichmann. One of the Hitler's henchmen.
