Top three most over underrated eqpmt??

Throughout my 17 and some odd years of being into this hobby, I've had numerous equipment with some being so so, some being great, and the rest being bad....Just curious to find out what other people's experiences are with changing from one component to another...Well, for me here are the list for my top 3 most overrated equipment: SimAudio W4070 amplifier, Aragon 47K preamplifier, a tie with Kimber PBJ interconnects and Linn Majik integrated amplifier....my top 3 most underrated equipment: Chiro C-200 amplifier, Roksan Caspian integrated amplifier, Straight Wire Chorus interconnects....comments anyone???

Over-rated: Wilson WATT/Puppies. Throughout most of their
frequency range, a pair of Magnepan 1.6QR's will positively
embarrass the Wilsons.

I won't make an *Overated* list because every month there seems a whole glut of new ones.Too many choices to attempt narrowing it down to a few.--------

My *Underated* choices are easy-
Exposure amplification
Roksan amplification,sources & tonearms
DNM amplification
NVA amplification
Neat loudspeakers
Royd loudspeakers
JM Reynaud loudspeakers
Cabletalk I/C's

My list for the underrated:

Discovery cables -- reasonably priced, very performance
Sony SSM7a speakers -- yes, Sony makes a great speaker
JBL LSR28 powered speakers -- great design & build quality
Tandberg open reel tape decks -- better than most Revoxs
Sumiko OCOS cable -- strong performer, well built
Vibrapods
