Hall of Shame

Clearaudio Evolution turntable. I don't know that it sounds bad, if it works at all. My dealer recently tried to demo it for me and couldn't get the piece of crap to play even 1/4 of one side without malfunctioning in some way.

And this is not due to a lack of expertise, either. After over an hour of trying to play a record we gave up and had a beer. It might sound good if you can get it to work, but I wish you the best of luck in doing so.

Cornfedboy read my thoughts exactly, I have heard the Pipedreams at a local Chicagoland dealer and they were embarassing to say the least. Maybe it is just my taste, maybe not :)

Yea, I would have to say the Avalon Acoustic Eidolon's are the crappiest looking/sounding speakers on earth ;) I don't have any grudges agains much equipment though I am fairly particular about what I would actually own. Just for the record that was sarcasim, I don't want folks thinking that I dislike anything Avalon does.

Anything by MIT

Anything that resembles contemporary art: that silly Oracle cd player comes to mind.
