How to make your amp more expensive


Saw this article about weight being added to a computer power supply and thought to myself "Hey, I know amplifiers that do this...."   😁

@erik_squires 

In your thread title, did you mean to say feel more expensive, due to the increased weight? 

It is surrealistic and a scam ...

Dangerous...

And  useful to kinow .... We must be cautious indeed ...

Thanks for the information ...

I should have pointed out that they also fail to include any sorts of fuses or breakers or over power/temperature sensors in the power supply, so I imagine this is to improve audio quality??

Everyone should immediately buy this brand for their next multimedia PC!

@roxy54  I think both interpretations of my title would be accurate.

Adding a 1" thick aluminum front plate would certainly make the amp more expensive to manufacture AND make it feel more like you are buying something worth more than the amp next to it that weighs half as much. :)

I remember reading a thread years ago talking about how you could tell the quality of an amp by its weight. My integrated only weighs 44 pounds.  Maybe I should just pitch it.😁

My father taught me if you’re going to make an investment in material goods buy the heaviest one. It’s a sign of quality!!

 

unless you’re buying hang gliders or parachutes. I add lead weights to all of my new purchases.
