In Reply to: I get it. Everything that is heavily advertised sucks (plus all digital). Well, that's easy to remember! posted by Bruce from DC on March 29, 2000 at 11:48:34:
your simplification does have a point. I have noticed a certain inversly proportional relationship between advertising and product quality.... After all, you can spend only once. You can spend it on the actual product, or on the marketing....Now guess which companies do better, saleswise, those with the (audibly) superior Product or those with good marketing and slick packaging....
On the other side you "genius in a garage" view is also a bit extreme.... Visit Dennis Morecroft (the Designer of the DNM Stuff) and have a look into his Lab.... I as a degreed EE was mightily impressed....
Or look at Audio Synthesis (the guy's who IMHO make the best value for money Digital gear).
