10x higher price for 10% greater quality.

That's the equation for just about everything technological and it also holds true in audio.

That’s an old issue, nearly 10 years old. ’Recently recalled’, on a 10 year old design.

Eg, that would never really happen in most other consumer industries - that would be end of life stuff that is expected.

We know that we expect longer lifespans out of audio gear, though. We hope for 10 year old audio gear to be the equivalent of maybe mid 30’s age (compared to human lifespans). We’ve come to expect and demand it as part of the high end package..

Overstating it in the negative is not the best thing to be doing....(not that I need to be here defending anything -just sayin’, kinda thing. More like playing the other side of the reasoned debate table).
