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.

Look at the care Luxman takes with the wiring of their integrated amps and you can guess the same level of care was applied to the rest of the product. If the wiring of a competitors integrated amp looks like it's spaghetti that's likely a tell.about the rest of its composition. Which would you bet on for reliability for example. 

As an analogy, if you are doing any home remodeling and you see the electrical systems looks like a mess in a similar fashion, it would be surprising the rest of the homes construction was not of the same poor quality. That's not to say the power at the outlets didn't work the same for either a neat or a sloppy wiring system when you plug in your vacuum cleaner.
