Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
this sort of thing has been going on for ears, yes I know I am stating the obvious, but people always think that paying more gets you better stuff, and not just for audio either i.e: when I worked at the CO Op in the 70s we sold Bush and Murphy tvs with the Bush or Murphy badge, they looked exactly the same just the badge was different, no problem. But we also sold Defiant made by Bush/Murphy but were £50 cheaper. They looked exactly the same as their Bush/Murphy brothers but what a difference in price, and people would still buy the more expensive sets because they were better. I even said to one customer that if the were worried about someone seeing the Defiant badge just remove it and no one would know the difference but they still bought the Bush version. £50 in the 70s was not an inconsiderable amount of money
