With a flick of the wrist, the player turns into ...

As consumers, we should have gotten used to it for a long time, something beautiful, fashionable, sensory, that manufacturers are trying to push us, manufacturers themselves are much cheaper. Well, two or three times - it is still possible to survive, but is there a framework of decency?

For example, what will happen if we take a quite decent Oppo Blu-Ray player for $ 500 (bottom photo), pull it out of the black case and place it in a more beautiful silver box? Well, and paste another logo, of course? The company Lexicon believes that such manipulations add to the cost of the player 3000 (three thousand) dollars.

Noticing some similarities between the front and rear panels of Oppo BDP-83 and Lexicon BD-30 players, Audioholics did not resist the temptation to gut both devices. Find 10 differences.

The conclusions turned out to be discouraging: apparently, Lexicon did not change the player in the “stuffing”. The guys did not even bother to raise the chassis strips, which is why they had to cut a hole in the bottom for ventilation. In addition, for a deeper blue Lexicon put a blue filter on the Oppo display.

However, it turned out that Lexicon BD-30 has a THX certificate , while the Oppo BDP-83 does not have, then Lexicon added something else that the bloggers did not notice? Or maybe BD-30 could not stand the requirements of THX, and since the guys from Audioholics reported this to THX and Lexicon, all the data on the presence of THX certificate from Lexicon BD-30 disappeared from the sites of both companies. Options for versions in general are.

And now let's think about how much high and middle class electronics are slightly modified versions of basic devices.
