after a few published interior photos of equipment showed that an expensive item was literally a cheaper item mounted in an expensive looking enclosure. 2 items come to mind; an expensive universal player that was a mid level OPPO machine in a designer case, and tweaked with "proprietary" software. Several publications accepted the premise of the software "upgrade" until the company was exposed. Other was the TAD McLaren group. They purchased a respected audio company, then pulled their equipment from the market for about 6 mos. Shortly after "new" models appeared, that looked wonderful- great aesthetics and tactile feel, with price points at least 2x those of the previous company. Then an independent reviewer opened up one of the new components, and discovered that it was old stock, connected by ribbon cables to a new control panel, and hard mounted to a heavy new case. Press was flustered, and put out a bunch of circular logic rebuttals- then the equipment was pulled from the market, never to be seen again.If you are restricted from opening up a component, and then prohibited from publishing interior pictures, then who knows what is really inside..... ?
