It was reported this week that high-end Blu-ray player maker Lexicon, which sells its BD-30 for $3500, had simply just taken a $500 Oppo BDP-83 and placed it into a new case, without making any modifications to the original internals. Worst of all, the new player had THX Certification, but some research proved that to be false. Rather then go through all the audioholics' review, I will post ...

I would have to totally agree with that. If you intend to buy a $3000 player, you think you'd first compare with similar items... and if you find something that's at least 6X cheaper and with similar features,Or if for the same price you could get something with 100X features, then it becomes a nobrainer...

Wow, what was that? In fact, less than 21% of wealthy Americans and 32% of Europeans are rich due to inheritance. Don't know what you're talking about...

I feel very fortunate that I have educated myself, worked hard, saved my money and invested regulary to qualify for that "title." My wealth was based on my labor, not manipulating other people's money. Perhaps your "success" is coloring your ignorance of the facts.

Quote:Your figures may be right but these THESE are the idiots targeted by companies like Lexicon. In my opinion any one paying even US$ 500/= for the player is stupid. Might as well get the PlayStation, get more functionality and save money on top.Quote:
