That's 3 Bob. Anyway, isn't audiophile gear by some
definition not mass produced?


As soon as a few dozen of any particular model are made,
its by definition mass produced.


I'm sure many will find your "definition" funny (and
insane).


Shows what little you know about producing products, especially electronic
products.

mass production
n.
The manufacture of goods in large quantities, often using
standardized designs and assembly-line techniques.


Works for me.

Um, My Master, "a few dozen" is not considered "a large quantity".


Obviously ****R you are unaware of the fact that "large quantity" is an
indefinate term. It is not a specfic number like 1 or 100. I guess your
moma should have told you about this.

A few thousand, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands
qualify.


So do a few dozen.

Here is a car that had 500 produced. Is this
"mass-produced"? LOL!

Oh, the Clenet motor car.

Here's a picture of a Clenet factory:

A readily-discernable assembly line can be seen.

There's no doubt that the design of the Clenet is standardized. The only
possible sticking point is whether or not 500 cars is a "large quantity".
But "large quantity" is an indefinite amount. Proof of your point has
escaped you, ****R.


Insert My Master's argument that an amplifier company that
builds 100 amplifiers by hand is "mass-produced" because the chips
or transistors were...


Compared to the number of amplifiers or any electronic product that you have
personally built ****R, 1 is probably a "large quantity". ;-)
