I have had quite a few good buys,but for me the worst was a REL strata
sub,really quite dissapointed
Worst- Mission 77c1. Awful centre speaker. Coloured sound, tacky
veneer, hollow bass. Complete crap imo
and currently sitting in my loft  , still haven't used it after all
these months
Worst: This will come down to either my old PM-66SE amplifier (bought
more because it was cheap than anything else), or my Rotel RCD-991
(which I never quite got on with). Probably the rotel...
My worst buy was a NAD 314 amp from Richer Sounds open box sale, i had
it in my lounge for 20 minutes, i took it straight back, exchange it
for a Cambridge A5i which also did not last long 
B&W DM602S2 - rave reviews but I disliked them. Dreadful soft and
soggy bass ( much stuffing up of the ports could not remedy), bright
treble, midband average. 
Arcam Alpha 5+ Amp - another 'winner' according to the hifi press.
Sounds to me like the amp on an Aiwa MIDI system. Lots of mush and
boom. Outperformed by cheaper Rotels and Denons. 
Cambridge Audio A500 Amp - This is possibly the worst amplifier I have
ever heard which costs £200. Ugly as sin, lacks a headphone socket
(which I was told improved its quality, hmmmm), and more
unfortunately, had a bland, boring, muddled and slow sound, and was
possibly the least enjoyable hifi component I have ever had the
misfortune of owning. I didnt know any better till I began to listen
to other things though. I'd definitely avoid this one. 
Arcam Alpha 7SE CD player: not musical enough in the midrange
Naim NAIT 2 was probably my worst buy. It could sound very good but it
could also sound very bad. Lots of stuff was in the 'unlistenably
harsh' area. They don't half keep their value secondhand, though, so
not a complete disaster.
Eltax Liberty 3 speakers - ok i was skint at the time, , they was
cheap and they did the job. Other than that they were a bit nasty. I
was seperated from my ex who had my speakers held hostage - so I
needed a fix.
The worst buy was my Pioneer DV-525 dvd player - a decent enough dvd
spinner but fairly horrible, IMHO, with CD's, which is what I was
using it for at the time. Didn't even last the duration of it's
guarantee, which is very rare for me, I can tell you. 
It may not be due to sound quality more of over pricing/naff looks or
garish styling, or a combination of the lot  
Maplins GWS cable all forms grim at best 
Kef 2005 speakers bloody awful 
Musical ? fidelity Nu-vista amp (passable I spose) 
M/F 308 power amp, soporific at best, coma/sleep inducing/lacklustre 
Rega planet 2000  
cambridge audio silver interconnects  
Arcam cd 72 
mana 
nait 3  
CDi 
Krell 300IL 
Burmeter rondo cdp 
shandling cdt 100 
dcs, purley on its price and the way it dis-assembles the music in
most hi-end systems 
Nordost valhalla 
SPM 
Naim SL2's 
Krell FBP 350's 
JM lab mini utopias 
atc speakers 
Rotel RCD991 (again!). If you want to know how BAD it gets for £300
watch out for one of these on ebay!
Worst buy: NAD C370
Worst Buy: Marantz DD82 DCC. Though I don't actually hate it. It has a
place in my heart.
Expensive cables 
- The great cable debate intrigues me. In strict value-for-money
terms, I’d have to say that investing in cables has always been
disappointing for me. It’s not a question of not hearing any
difference at all, but – to ditch the car metaphors and use a food one
– for me they’re pricey icing on a cake that tastes the same
underneath… 
Worst buy. Kev Q55 speakers, no control. 
Rega Kyte speakers: the crappiest small speakers I have heard 
Epos ES11 : also crap 
Naim CD3: mega poo 
The Naim CD was grainy and had a shut in sound stage 
the Kytes were rough,hollow and cheap sounding.Made very badly too 
not sure about paper cones either. 
my room may have made the ES11 sound worse than they were. 
These sounded quite dull with a bloated mid bass.
JM Labs Mini Utopia, Sonus Faber Auditors
BW602 S3: I think BW pay alot of money for marketing their products,
and I give it to my brother in law after had a shock with JMlab sound 
Worst buy: Eltax Titanium 1.3 speakers. 
In retrospect, my worst hifi product was the musical fidelity electra
e100 integrated amp
Sherwood AX4050R integrated (£150!!) - Muddy.. powerful (compared) but
muddy. 
Bose 4.2 Series II speakers - no soundstage, no treble detail etc
(good bass though )
Worst: 
Magneplanar MMG 
Wharfedale 8.1 
Sony XB770
