I think what the original ****tard poster doesn't get, is that its the
people he refers to as 'borgs' who delelop, manufacture, and repair the
stuff in the first place. Its some bull**** corporate unit and some
bull****
deluded retailer who crank the price up to make 1000%+ profit. I am not
saying a $10000 amp is equal to some dodgey $80 jobbo, but no human senses
could tell the differnece between a $1500 amp and a $10000 amp, especially
when they all use the same made-in-korea semiconductors within.

1000% is an exaggeration of an unfortunate situation.
But the argument that the country of origin for semiconductors makes diverse
amplifiers equal is a bad one. Amplifiers vary widely in sound, but not
necessarily on the basis of price. I find that MOSFETs sound different from
bipolars, and IGFETs. The way MOSFETs are driven is yet a further division.
And high bias bipolar amps sound different from low bias designs.

So, I take it, to you, a Halcro sounds the same as a Parasound?

The "borgs" are not the makers. The "borgs" are users, not of equipment, but
of other human beings.
