Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ?


I noticed that merrill audio and mcintosh general don't show all the internals of their electronics. A friend of mine actually asked merrill to see pics of the internals of their amps and pres. The remark from merrill... 'people listen to how they sound they don't look at whats inside.'

But why hide it? Are they trying to protect some secrets of their tech? Might as well just show it... if you have dones something truly exceptional people will appreciate that and its going to be that easy to rip off.

I know nothing about electronics, but when I first went about acquiring some higher end equipment, I read a lot of reviews.  What settled me on the Parasound A21, besides the price and the good reviews, was when I saw the top off and saw the inside. I thought it looked so nice, so well made, that I had to have it.  I would like to get a Plexiglas top to show it off.

Generally, it doesn't bother me to not see inside, unless I might want to buy it. I like to see neat layouts, as it suggests the thing was carefully made.
