Quote from: SonicReducer on Today at 06:29 PMRegarding the integrated amps, I'm not sure what to tell you. If you still think that the only similarities they have is that they're solid state and integrated, then I can only assume that you haven't actually spent much time looking at the specs and features. I'll say AGAIN that while I freely admit that I could be wrong about any of the amps being rebadges, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see more than a few similarities between them. Quote from: srb on Today at 06:39 PMEach time you repeat that (and believe me, it's been excruciatingly often), I couldn't disagree with you more. On this particular point, I don't think you're going to find anyone that agrees with you.

thanks, steve. i didn't think i was the odd man out, here.
From a business angle, I find it odd that a manufacturer would go to all the trouble of designing completely unique circuitry but packaging it in exactly the same way (almost identical layouts and features) as his (numerous) competitors. Would it not make more marketing sense to add or even subtract features, or give the consumer a different aesthetic, or do anything at all to differentiate the product?
Well, Doug, actually YOU give the best oral sex! Why be so modest?!
Geez - tough group Nothing our OP, SonicReducer, has proposed is terrible....it's perhaps just not practical and the act of rebadging is likely less frequent than the recent example of the OPPO and Lexicon suggest.Let's lay off the shots, guys - he just doesn't deserve it. He's a fellow audiophool looking for a bargain and brought a topic important to him up on an audiophool forum....there's no horm nor foul in that. SR, hang in there bud, not everyone here is a tormentor and/or adversarial here. As I hope I communicated well enough earlier - I don't actually support your assertion that rebadging is widespread - but, I support you coming forward to create a discussion about it Ciao, John
