"They simply don't make them like this anymore"


How many times do I have to read this? Or:
"Nothing can touch these"
I wonder what the designers, like Nelson Pass - formerly of Threshold, or Bob Carver - formerly of Phase Linear, would have to say about this?
Are we really supposed to belive that everything these arguably brilliant designers have made since "back in the day" pales in comparison to these vintage pieces?
Time Marches On!
So does Audio..........

Years ago we had the Shelby Mustang, GTO, AMC Gremlin and the Pinto. In audio we had the Marantz 8B, Fuzz Linear, the original QUADS and the Blose 901. Sometimes it's a classic and sometimes it's a piece of crap. The trick is in knowing the difference. Often this is easy, as in the case of the Marantz 10B tuner, which currently sells for 4-5 times it's original price of $599. That's a good clue.
