Re: The Stereo stuff I hated the most

JVC 701VBK (I think?) receiver, 4-channel surround, bought in the late 80s as my first "real" component. I was really proud of that thing, but it always sounded like crap - no real power, volume would drop by half if I turned on the "B" speakers while the "A" were playing. Lousy tuner,ambient buzz from FM interference no matter what the input, and the speaker protection circuit would click on from time to time for no apparent reason.

After replacing speakers and other components for a few years I realized it was the POS receiver. Switched to vintage SS and I've been happy ever since.
