Once upon I time, I opened a Yamaha MOX6 and I have found that the components inside were just worth 100$. It was then that I started to realize that they were worth 100$ to ME and not to the established brand. It was then that I started to design my own equipment so I went out to buy the f7cking components but alas, they couldn't sell them to me for the same price. Then I realized that the established brand was located elsewhere, had different suppliers, different marketing policies, different advertising policies, a different number of employees, they wanted to buy a different number of components, arrange in a different topology, with a different software implementation and thus have different results.Waterfall-K είπε:O κυριος Uli Behringer εχει διαφορετικη αποψη.
"I desperately wanted to have my own equipment but as a student I couldn't afford to establish my own recording studio. One day I opened up a signal processor of an established brand and I realized that despite a selling price of $1,000 the components inside were just worth $100. It was then that I started to design equipment; initially for myself, but surprisingly I had immediately sold ten pieces to my friends and fellow musicians before I had even built them. I discovered that all of my musician friends faced the same dilemma. There was simply a tremendous need for good and affordable sound equipment."

So, I realized that I couldn't understand why Yamaha sells it for 1000$, when it's obvious that the components are worth 100$ to ME. To ME, I say, that I am the center of the universe, all other differences and variations being negligible and reduced to the point of mere speculation. And I decided that I will buy similar components to the established brand and sell them for 101$ because I am so f7cking altruisitc these days. Who knows what the likes of B.B. King or Spanoudakis will say if they are not able to afford my designs.
It's just that I have some difficulties from time to time, finding where the products are manufactured. But hey, there's always Toula the Konstantinopolitissa and so I use her services whenever I want to source stuff, find out details and so on. Such as: were do Manleys get built? "Hang on a sec, lemme consult my Yamaha globe... zzz, yeah they are made in China". "Oh, so that's what they are selling us right? I'll take my revenge, you'll see, I 'll make all sorts of crap and I will have them made in China. No-one will ever know, besides my Microwave is made in China, so a Waldorf Microwave is also made in China because they have the same name, isn't it plain to see?"
And who cares about quality? All I care about is quantity and ways with which I can fool people into thinking that I am so f7cking clever and all other people are so mean and arrogant. The other day, I had a spec fight with my wife because she insisted that the neighbor's 18cm tool is better than mine. So, I tried to convinced her that this is not the case and she wouldn't listen.. I measured them, I compared them, I found out that they are made of the same material (more or less, so to speak) and yet she wouldn't listen. It was only then that I had to consult Toula and even she didn't have the foggiest. I mean, wtf, is my wife a Moog representative?
