In Reply to: Those Cayins have some mighty pretty metal work & a nice machined remote... posted by David S. on February 6, 2007 at 14:53:11:
I choose not to. I'd rather support current manufacturers
from the States or somewhere less insidious like England or some
of the beautiful products coming out of Italy.Citations for example are how privateers like Jim McShane
can make a living or support a hobby. Micheal Elliot of Alta Vista
is another person who's chosen to deal with equipment not made anymore.
I'd rather rebuild or buy parts from someone like
those fellows and support folks in the hobby on a less international level.I think while us Americans worry about remotes, we not only miss
the target on sound quality, I think we miss the boat on wisdom as well.
I love beautiful casework as much as anyone, I'd just rather
Bob from around the corner gets the profits.RFG
