True. I am not saying it will come to this. I certainly hope not. I
want my future Squeezebox purchases, except the wall mount ;)
(obviously), to give me good quality for the money I pay. And enough
left (within limits) for employees, further development and shareholders
(yup, them too). I hope this wall-mount is a blip on the radar. Even so,
I do not intend to let it pass by without comments. As some might have
noticed :rolleyes:
And I wouldn't call that cable from Denon their best move:
- 'Wired: Snake-Oil Alert: Denon Sells ‘Audiophile’
Ethernet Cable for $500'
(http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/06/snake-oil-alert/)
- 'Slashdot: Denon's $499 Ethernet Cable'
(http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/15/009216)
Need a good laugh. Read some of the reviews at Amazon:
- 'Amazon: Customer Reviews - Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable'
(http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AKDL1-Dedicated-Link-Cable/product-reviews/B000I1X6PM/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending)
Of course. Some subscribe to the notion that any exposure, is good
exposure :)
