In Reply to: Here's an example of what retail markup is about posted by Soundmind on August 24, 2006 at 16:04:25:
As for the $3995 amps, they're a lot closer to the similarly powered $300 pair than you'd think. An awful lot closer. Take them apart and look inside at what you get. There's a lot less than meets the eye. And the manufacturer's justification? He calls his hit and miss tinkering "research." What an insult to real scientists and engineers who actually do.Damn straight, SM! Dan is simply a charlatan with his overpriced amps using "hit and miss tinkering 'research'". What an insult indeed! Well you can now take comfort since he decided to cease production.
