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.

This is ART. 2.2 million

From a person that loves beautiful things, ME.

I think I’ll order up a couple for the weekend palace in Dubai.

Sultan OldHvyMec. Bring my magic carpet around to rear entrance, my kingdom is waiting..

Apologies, but.. (nothing personal, I’m just having a bit of fun and overstating my case)

That is when art finally overtakes all sensibility in design and just... ruins it.

Worse than a Bugatti Chiron as a ’transformer’ styled monster truck.

I have no words for the sum total seen. Almost speechless. (almost)

Like a train wreck liberally sprayed with poorly glitzified low budget dead hookers.

Like a mack truck crankshaft built out of previously happy now dead butterflies, just cuz it looks cool.

It may be an interesting design, visually, in some ways... sorta..kinda... and a few design points of it are ok regarding ’best’ function, but mostly, just plain off. way... way..... off.

Art shoulda been left at the curb on this one.

Apologies to the designer. See encyclopedic entries on the word ’kitsch’ and how to not do things. See engineering of audio equipment for best quality and attend classes. Please learn something.

I wish I could say more nice-nice. But it’s wrong. It’s all wrong. Eg, a $200 used Arcam alpha integrated is going to be more honest and correct in reproducing music.
