Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?

I've changed my mind about many things.  Beer for instance.  Now I can really only drink IPAs and dark beers. Lagers?  Phooey.  This is very different than what I drank in my 20s though. 

Same for audio gear. 

So let me ask all of you, are there brands or equipment you've changed your mind about, for better or worse?  And if so, why?  It doesn't have to be a brand, it can be a TYPE or technology.

For instance, I used to love Ti and Be tweeters.  Now usually can't listen to them.

What about you?

I loved my Marantz Reference PM15S2b integrated when I first got it. When I got the Kinki Studio EX-M1, I liked that even more.

With some fiddling of filter settings on the Marantz SA15S2b SACD player, installing the Niagara 1200 power conditioner, using Isoacoustic Oreas under my gear, and turning off the darn LEDs on the Marantz gear, I now have almost the same see-thru of the Kinki with more body, warmth, and nuance from the Marantz, giving me a new appreciation for the Marantz, over that of the Kinki. 

A big plus is now it's all matching in the looks department and I'm now back to a wider range with the volume since it doesn't come on full song so darn early with the settings.

All the best,
