an equipment poll


what brands of components do people like and dislike ?

please grade the products of companies whose products you have owned, giving the company a rating between 1 and 10, where 1 means "worst sound quality" and 10 means "best sound quality"

thus you might rate conrad jonson an "8", vandersteen a "7", etc. please rate as many brands as you wish.

i will crunch the numbers.

at the end we'll get an idea of what people like and don't like. i think it will be very interesting.

thanks for your participation.

Upon further reflection, I would like to slightly upgrade a few of the ratings I posted earlier in this thread. Mr. T -- please incorporate these changes accordingly, when you do your compilation:

Antique Sound Lab: 5
Paxthon: 6
Pentagram: 7
Rotel: 5
