yes, but if we are talking the vendetta JC signature ltd edition you can afford slightly higher prices. If making 100 of something then plenty of places will run that off and may even be just as cheap to stay onshore.
You may well be right! 🙂
I once spoke to a manufacturer on the Isle of Wight, he said it was a great place, as an island it was a cheap labour zone.....

One of our sidelines is organising mainly board manufacture and assembly, less often full assembly to create a full finished product. Can be very stressful especially sourcing components etc. Procurement is another area that firms are starting to out-source as the cost of permanent purchasing staff etc. increases, or the size of the business does not justify having such departments within the company structure... Outsourcing is becoming increasingly popular.
Audio is an interesting field, you have basic components that have to be sold at the best price due to competition, the further up the scale you go the greater the price and profit margin per product but the less sold.

Okay Scott, I have a Parasound that needs to be repaired, not sure what I fried but poof that was that. Let it go real cheap if you want to fix the thing. Not a JC marked model though.
Thanks I might consider it, model number (I really wanted a JC model though)? Also right now without a schematic I'm not sure I want to invest the time troubleshooting.
So SY George was wrong all along, there is terroir. Sorry DHP that's an inside joke.
You remember that he threatened to sue me? 😀
the trip down memory lane
I think I prefer Paul Giamatti (Sideways, '04)
A $25k ltd edition CTS(chram) B&Q in a series of 100 monaural pairs, by Parasound.
(have them made with a more pleasing front panel look than the original BBQ or Parasound models, and I'm game for serial 001 + 002)
Triangle and tetrad protocols: Small sensory differences, resampling and consumer relevance
This, along with what else I've read surely says that a triangle (I'm right here admitting that I thought those required forced choice and prior knowledge that there were 2 identical samples) and tetrad protocols are much, much, MUCH more powerful than binary tests.
Sorry, not much time for today; your assertion is remarkable because just the opposite is true and the article you´ve linked to included again experimental confirmation for this well known fact.......

We are clearly talking past each other at this point. Did I not state that triangle/tetrad protocols enjoy greater statistical power? That's exactly what comes out of the abstract and makes solid statistical/experimental sense. I admitted I didn't know the official name, but I've done enough other testing where you need positive and negative controls.
Both are infinitely better than a simple XY test.
Anyhow, it's bad enough getting people to do remotely robust testing and we're arguing even more specific protocols.

Scott,
Model # HCA1200. Now that I'm thinking about it I wonder if it was just the output Zobel that fried? Perhaps I should have taken a look at it before I put it away and never looked at it again. I didn't have a transistor tester so never checked any of the output trannies. I would assume that John would have the schematic or could get his hands on same.

I always wondered about the claimed damages, sort of no purpose in a personal injury suit unless they can be substantiated. AFAIK he had nothing to sell at the time.
