I seem to recall a video for ARC
Posted by Feanor on December 24, 2016 at 11:21:35:
Wherein an ARC rep bragged about how all their boards where hand-wire with (mostly) through-the-hole components; even LSI chips with tiny leads were hand wire by a middle-aged lady with a microscope.
By contrast, Schiit brags (?) about using long-run mass production with maximum use of surface-mount technology.
Maybe old-fashioned, manually intensive methods are better -- or maybe they're just more expensive.
Granted, the ARC LS28 is more beautiful ...
