This is a very, very bad thing Lexicon did. And thanks to the super sleuths at Audioholics, they got very, very caught.
The Lexicon BD-30 is a $3500 (!!!), THX-Certified Blu-ray player. Unfortunately, aside from some slight re-branding, it's also a $500 Oppo BDP-83, chassis and all. http://gizmodo.com/5450893/lexicon-charges-3500-for-a-repackaged-500-oppo-blu+ray-player This is an example of a "name brand" pulling a stunt that does not shock me, given my cynicism of the entire "audiophile" world. I have been involved in music production for 25 years. From our perspective, we just laugh at those willing to pay outrageous prices for music REproduction from so-called boutique operations. So when Lexicon, which is much bigger than "boutique", plays this game, you have to wonder about all those little guys too. If you understand the equipment that is used to make the music, you just scratch your head at the expense some incur to listen to that same music. It's a total waste of money. -- mortslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74782 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
