In Reply to: When does a better mouse trap turn distasteful carboncopy cloning? posted by Srajan Ebaen (R) on July 8, 2003 at 08:59:14:
By reviewing a product that appears to be a simple clone of another you do us all, including the designer a great disservice.
A 'better moustrap' must be a new and innovative design in order to be better, otherwise it is just a copy with a different price tag.If a person built an exact copy of the Gaincard or any other amp, and then proceeded to sell if for 1/3 less, I would seriously question if it is a real copy, or a massively compromised copy.
I don't question the quality of this product, it could be a good sounding amp, it just needs to reflect the innovation and identity of the designer in some way, not be a simple copy of some one else's hard work.
You must recognize that fact. It is your responsibility to us.
