Worst was a Sony laserdisk player. It constantly failed, got sent in, got back and still had the same issue.
Got Pioneer LD and no problems...
Then next Sony biggest Wega, just went South. Never did get it fixed.
Still I have a love hate with Sony..
Most disappointing audio item was a Sony digital preamp, the very first one. Bells and whistles soon wore off. What a chunk of trash.
Most frustrating was a Counterpoint preamp.
I should have kept it though.. It really sounded wonderful when it worked.
The vast majority of stuff i have owned worked fine, never an issue from plenty of equipment from ARC, Bryston, Adcom..
