For me the cars analogy doesn't do it. I have a Honda and it is not a rig with a lot of "fluff".
I think about in terms of car stereos. Kenwood makes car stereo systems. Lots of flash & buttons and whiz bang features. Oh yea, it produces sound too but that isn't really the thing they focus on. I see the Ikensu rigs coming out of the same mindset. Micro knobs, fancy displays, lots of add-ons, lacking is core performance. They are the radio equivalent of Junk Food - all flash, no substance. Well, maybe that's an over statement, but you get the idea. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- Japanese rigs remind me of Japanese cars. Well built products with a lot of fluff type features and gizmos that don't contribute to the actual performance of the car.
