Re: What's the most overrated/disappointing gear you bought?

I had a disappointing experience with a second hand Manley Shrimp tube preamp: After year of good music it became mute (transformer gone) and I discovered it was a known defect and Manley was offering a free of charge repair kit (good policy I admit).
