I would point out that some of these brands have a wide spectrum of products. Sony, for example, makes some low-end stuff that might be appropriate for.. what was that noise-maker he mentioned? Michelle Jacksoff? On the other hand, they make some nice high end gear that pushes back the state of the art. For example, they were into power-FETs *years* ago. Have you listened to the TA5650, Mr. Golden Ear? Or any of it's siblings? Very nice sounding amps. (or rather UN-sounding) I suppose I should get busy and replace all the solder in my components with official silver solder, (regular solder is a leading cause of 'tinny' sound, you know) but solder fumes often give one a taste for non-esoteric music, thus defeating the whole purpose.
