What will you not buy?

Any amplifier with meters!

I won’t buy anything from companies whose products I owned, but the products had issues they didn’t fix.

I had a high-end power amplifier with transformer hum. The manufacturer didn’t suggest a DC blocker (and obviously didn’t build one into the product). At the time, I was a young audiophile & didn’t know about that, either. I would hope the manufacturer would know better.

Another manufacturer pushed their streaming solution as "state of the art," but it didn’t do gapless playback. They promised a fix. It took years and years and required spending more money.

Both those firms are OFF my buy list permanently.

No receivers
