What is this rubbish?

You seem to be blaming quad for, overpricing items because you make them cheaper and not supplying to the low end of the market.

Quad are not a diy company.

They are also not a low end company never have been.

I can make a phono stage for very little, but i could not make thousands, distribute them, advertise them, research them etc etc times 5000, for very little.
