This page is a hall of fame
for audio engineering.
Let's name the good, the bad and the ugly.
Obviously
I can not pretend to know
even 1 % of the products, but from these that I know - I wanted to make
a
WHITE LIST of HONEST DECENT COMPANIES and a BLACK LIST of the
companies that we should beware of - who sell us b-s and
DELIBERATELY fool us.
After giving it a thought - I decided that making a black list could be
seen as being aggressive, and making broad generalizations.
So I decided to make a white list only. The black - you must guess from
my writing elsewhere. It is not difficult.
What does it take to get on the white list ?
The products must be well made, with money well spent, with good sound,
and WITHOUT selling us a bullshit in place of engineering. In short -
it is about delivering real value and not marketing tricks.
