Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

GriefKit AA1640 power amp.

I had gotten it in kit form new. My Dad got it for me at cost because he had done some freelance design work for them (not on this amp). This amp sounded ok but blew up if you looked at it cross eyed. It just didn't like the load my Koss ESLs presented. I rebuilt it several times and finally tossed it.

Crown DC300 power amp: Sounded awful on the Koss ESLs.
Crown IC150 preamp: Worst sounding preamp by far I ever owned. I finally gutted it and put in pc boards from an Audio Amateur magazine article.
I ended up using Dyna 400s on the Koss's and they worked great, eventually replaced them with Dyna MK6 tube amps when Stereo Cost Cutters sold them out cheap.
I'm sure I'll think of a few others in a bit :)
