Well it could be worse look at the cargo cult "engineering" going on in some garage made boutique brands.
So by sticking a chinese dvd player inside their offer there still heads and shoulder above some of the competition :) No "quantum purifiers" . That said, if one stay far away from obvious basement operations you could usually avoid this. Sad move by lexicon who have done some good HT processors I think ? I think Brands like Bryston Meridian and Quad (older products before being bought and branded by chinese, now they have a tube amp again *sigh* Peter Walker may rise from his grave) Is real engineering. Look at Brystons unconditional 20year warranty. There are probably some more survivors from the 70's or 80's who straggle on. Many new brands seems built around some pseudo science like "quantum purifiers". Real EE is out of their league, the actual design could be copy pasted from something that worked. But all "evil" components swapped without any design consideration, now it sounds very different=better ;) Hey Musical Fidelity did that in the Eighties, but they actually got better over time, now they seems to make decent products, if you go by published measurements . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74782 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
