Who fed you that BS? Sony builds cd transports for a number of other
companies, but AIWA makes their own gear.

after look into it...sonys website indicates that Sony does own awia.

Maybe they do, but that doesn't mean they build their gear. VW owns BMW and
Bentley but do you think VW has anything to do with their construction? I
didn't think so.

Awia sucks... You may get a year out of their decks.

Sorry, but that's been public knowledge for many years... Who fed you ?

You must be off today. VW does not own BMW. VW does own Bentley and has
everything to do with the manufacturing of Bentleys.

Did Sony buy Awia or start Awia from scratch ?

My only contribution to this thread:

It's A-I-W-A.

Aiwa.

AWIA is Japanese for Sony. It's the way Saturn is related to GM. They have
differnet R&D teams but have the same reseources. I think the main reason
for Awia was to bring in products at a lower price point with out diluting
or "cheaping" Sony's name/brand image

That make sense.
Mass marketing under the Aiwa name would bring down manufacturing cost for
Sony/Aiwa.
Giving bigger profit margins for the higher priced Sony line.

Well then someone at Sony missed the boat on this ... they went out and
"cheapened" their name anyway, I am most disgusted with the mainline Sony
products I have seen/used lately. The only decent equipment they still make
is the reference line for home equipment, and that is far too expensive for
me to ever consider.

Well since the deal went down less than a year ago I am not sure that it has
been public knowledge for years.

But Paul makes a good point. There are alot of parent companies that have
several "baby" companies. But just because one crap doesnt make the other crap,
and of course it works the other way too.

I agree. I'm glad I have my old-school C-90...before they started lowering
the standard. I understand they don't make an ES line anymore?

True, not "years" since they took over, but "years" since the deal was done.

Not so much. The MEX* (I guess for mobileES) units are basically their
mobileES units now. Those are the only ones I'd even consider.

Hi,
Sony is almost POS now. And they're laying off lot of employees
worldwide. I wonder why?!
