Dear Fm's,
Today I met a Technician to discuss on recapping my Sansui Amplifier and asked him the best options for upgrade as well (Since Sansui is Out of Market).
I was shocked when he revealed gave some info about the Marketing strategy the modern day AV companies.
My Question was just simple "How these Vintage champs are so reliable and sturdy and made for long run unlike the modern day amplifiers.He Simply smirked and replied as
1.Companies who loving to giving the best amps\speakers for consumers were shut down long back (Mid of 80s).
2.The Vintage legendary Electronics use to be part of "Will" ,The Design,components were made for long run to keep the customers happy and Grandfather might have purchased and Grand Kids could enjoy with the same at their teenage
hyeah:
3.Since people were settled with the best Stuff, they were no more looking for new products (Might be that could be reason for the Big Brands were shut down from business or sold to the cheap\entry level brands)
4.Modern day AV are designed to have a QUICK EXPIRY date, (Might be they run perfect until the Expiry date).
5.The AV companies are targeting the consumers just not to buy their products for now ,but also in future.
6.If we take LCD\LED etc TV's they last only for 3-5 Years Max, by the some New XYZ technology will be in market and AV Companies would start marketing "We have XYZ technology" Please use they to enjoy Music\Movie Experience.
7.The Point 6 would be applicable for Amplifier\Speaker\DAC etc as well.
8. He also added that they train the engineers to design the way (Short life cycle) so that the AV companies can keep on selling their Products to the consumer, though they going to feel the difference or not.
9.The New Stuff could sound best and days\years pass by the quality they deliver would get degraded (due to the Design or marketing strategy) ,Which makes you feel that "Ah Time to Upgrade"
Finally Coming to the Title, The AV Companies might not give the 100% Best quality in any of their Electronics, well its like digging their Own grave.
Kindly think 100 times before you plan for Upgrade ,Its your Mind and ear should be Judge and not "How much you could afford".
Ok small tips in case you plan for Upgrade ,Just becoz you feel bored of the sound.
Just stop listening music for day\2 or week and Just read the reviews about your AV in some online forums or\and invite your friends who are not much into Music.
Start listening the music on the same Rig, You feel the Pride of what you have :yahoo:
Note:This is just my view and the information given by technician today was pretty much convincing for me.
