In Reply to: What IS build quality? posted by pictureguy on November 28, 2014 at 19:40:23:
I would say that premium grade components used to construct a well engineered device carefully assembled by skilled craftsmen would be build "quality".
For example, (although its not audio) I have a Hamilton model 940, size 18 pocket watch manufactured in 1904. Inside the case are 3 notations by jewelers when it was cleaned/oiled. The watch's 21 ruby and sapphire jewels are in gold jewel settings, the full plate is polished silver, and the case is 18K gold filled.
It is 110 years old, has only been cleaned and oiled 3 times and keeps very good time. The porcelain dial has no cracks or discolorations. The stem is tight and the crystal is in fine shape. It is free of corrosion. The gold inlaid lettering on the works is crisp and sharp without flaking.
VERY FEW, if any, items made in this day and time will still be functioning properly in 2124 AD. This fine watch will likely be passed along to my grandson.
To see the world's unexcelled examples of superior craftsmanship and premium materials coming together into a finished product do a yahoo or google search for Purdey Shotguns images.
