Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment


There is a CD player with a good reputation that goes by the name fog. I don't think any audiophile would want a CD player to sound foggy. What other names do you know which are a contradiction in terms or are simply unpleasant sounding.

An audio dealer that carried the Ars Audes speaker line had the really nice sounding "Sol" model, which he liked to refer to as the Ars Sols.
Jaybo - I personally think Calypso, like Rhea, Janus, Io, Callisto, etc., are a lot more original than something called a Reference 3 Mk II Statement Signature. A little bit of light reading on moons and more moons can be interesting.
Edge amplifiers, who wants an edgy sounding amp? (I know they don't actually sound that way)
Phonomena phone stage, not necessarily a bad name but the dealer nick named it, the phono enema. (I own one)
I also agree all the Manley names like Shrimp, Mahi Mahi, etc. are really bad. (I do like Stingray)
Rhljazz, the phono enema is a perfect nickname for it. After all, it appeals mostly to anal-og-philes! :)
