I went to the Red Rose web site: very nice looking products and well informed site. Looking through their products I found the top line M1. It meke me think about why we trust expensive audio systems and why brands are so important when we pay the big bucks. For me the answer is thaat because each employee at these companies have the "spirit" to produce the best quality/performance they can achieve at any price; companies where the management deside what to do with the final product in front of them, not the gross margin. By scrolling down on the pdf file that contains the M1 literature you can se under the Red Rose tags another brand named "Koksun", probably because the device on the picture is the first imported prototype without the final Red Rose logo. Most of the electronic companies today are getting Korean/Taiwanese made products and selling these in the US market under their brands. I wonder if every employee at these overseas companies understands the importance of quality when they build our bucks$$$
Companies that ask carriage-trade prices have no business importing and re-badging productsmade off shore. Would Pass Labs do that? To me, it's insulting.
