O.K., the other end of your personal experience


Most of us like to remember the good items we have had, on the other side/end, what are some of the ones you have had that were from "not so special" to (in your opinion) bad?  The risk here is naming names and people getting defensive...  In the end it is just an opinion and not an attack.  

Mine:  Monster M1 cables, nearly any/all cassette decks, simply not a high fidelity format to my ears.  Early headphones from several Japanese makers.....excellent way to get a headache.

Chinese company Jungson made some absolute crap of a integrated amp. This was right after a bad experience with a tube integrated, Aronov LS960I that while magical sounding turned out to be long-term unstable. So, keen to avoid a replay of that decided to go solid state.

Side note- this becomes yet another example of why not to select components based on narrow minded technical considerations.

Yes, we just called ourselves narrow minded. So there.

So anyway like we said this Chinese Jungson amp turned out to be absolute crap. In no time at all it developed some strange intermittent noise in the left channel. The Chinese Jungson customer service was so bad the Chinese guys actually came out to my house on the pretense of replacing it only to listen and evaluate and learn what they could from me. (Does this sound familiar?) These two Chinese guys from Jungson saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, their amp was defective, told me to my face it was indeed the amp, then lied to my face. Because far from replacing it as promised they then totally stopped even taking my calls. 

Fortunately my dealer was a stand up guy and made me whole. But they stiffed him too and so being a good dealer that was the end of his doing business with Jungson.
