Most overrated audio manufacturers?

Overrated in what?
- To transform the signal to real thing reproduction?
- Reliability?
- Bang for buck?
- Design done right (Tonearm Geometry, Energy Transfer...)?

This type of thread only invites "cheap shots" by those with various motives and experiences we are not fully aware. Thus, those who indulge this type of pseudoinformation may diss some very credible manufacturers.

Quicksilver? Really? Mike Sanders has been making superb gear for years and obsessed with quality and affordability. And no, I don't work for him. Like any manufacturer, his gear may not be a perfect fit in your system. So, do some research.

Sounds you are getting a bit cynical. Easy to do isn't it. I used to work for a big hi fi shop in Denver back in the mid 70's. 8 tracks were just leaving and cassette tapes on the way in and vinyl running strong. The interesting thing is that after all these 40 years the thing that has improved the most are the magazines touting expensive gear.

audio note and ayre in my very honest opinion.
I had nothing but trouble with these two companies
and the dealers who sold them. Look at other manufactures
instead of the above.

None !!
