Best (and worst) single piece of audio component I once owned was a Luxman K-112 cassette deck. Paid a grand for it years ago - and it made some sweet recordings.
Lasted me a year - then went kerfucked. Had it repaired...it worked for another 2 months...kerfucked again. Fixed it again (this time out of warranty) and it lasted 24 hrs.
I took it out to the garage and put a big pickaxe through the chassis.
Swore I'd never purchase another Luxman/Alpine unit again.
These days, my best piece of gear is an old pair of 480w Audiosphere Research monitors in the living room. They'll still make yer teeth itch.
