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.

I have read that the ubiquitous K used by Linn is to emphasize their logo. They are committed to using it to remind people of their original TT's logo and that the source is of utmost importance. I can't reproduce it exactly but it is a V with a line under it (presumably a record) to emulate a stylus on a platter and looks like a K when flipped line down. This continues despite the company's wide range of products.
I found another one. The Audioharma cable cooker for quick breakin. It is used by a regular seller of cables here. I thought it was a mistake but several of the ads say that. Now why would anyone want to harm their cables prior to use go figure!
