All the brands I don't like...

Will this equipment include hearing aids? Just asking.

If you want to have that discussion you need to follow Kenjit.

@cheeg :

Amps with meters are better than amps without them.

I still love my vintage "M-Series", Onkyo amps with their giant dual analogue meters!
 But seriously, Maybe a few of you guys have a 'lil too much time on your hands? Or is it just a lack of "Anger Management Training"?? (I missed that seminar myself).

@erik_squires - I knew you could clear it up for me!@mijostyn - This thread is NOT useless -- that was a GREAT Seinfeld clip!

Sigh, those were great days for modern visual design. Onkyo, Hitachi, Technics, Kyocera, in Asia,Tandberg and Revox from Europe, Carver from the US.

All of them had amazing looking products.
