Dont shit on crosley. It helps people get into a great hobby at a fucking great price point. It’s like shitting on guitarists for having a squire strat instead of an american standard strat.

Why is the "high end" brand Sony?

About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup's receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

I've been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?

Well, there was that time they included a rootkit in their audio CDs (this went on for a couple of years. Wikipedia)

And I will never forgive for them for that.

Amen!
