Yup. This is one part of audio, which really annoys me. And another excellent reason for comparing certain prodcuts, with others. CD players are possibly the worst (or best, depending on your point of view) example, since very few small companies can actually do a lot more other than modding existing players (which is not a bad thing in itself). I recall working on a Micromega, back in the late 80's. I was horrified to see a bog standard Philips machine (top line cast alloy transport, though)inside a fancy case. After servicing, I compared it to a Marantz CD94 (used as a transport). Yep, you guessed it: Indentical to the Marantz, albeit at a greatly inflated price. I must say, though, I was shocked at what I found with the Audio Alchemy. I expected more from this company.Trevor
