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.

You obviously have no fing clue as to what your looking at.  I assume you are referring to the Volume Control ? Which is a fully balanced relay based attenuator.  Perhaps put on your spectacles and give it a closer look.

Oldhywmec, 

Where do you get your information ? Your way off your rockers.  

In case you do not understand business, let me explain.  The preamplifier I posted a link to is the Olympia LXi, it has a MSRP of $22K, the dealer gets half of this amount which means we sell them for $11K, if sold into international distribution theres an extra  10% off which means we sell them for $8800 - you try to do this. 

You may not care for the looks, I don't give a RA if you do or not, luckily many people like the sleek "I mean business" Styling.  

Good Listening

Peter
