Considering that the very same unit would cost 15= > dollars at Radio Shack, if made in China?? Not as an effective market proposition in my view. Not so much because of t= he mark-up, but because the customer will have had to have become informed = by the time he gets to even hearing about this. Either he finds ahead of ti= me that the Edirol R9 mic stage is rotten, adds the $350 to the $400 he wou= ld have spent to get to a Marantz PMD660 or stretches himself to a Nagra Ar= es-P2. Or he saves a hunk of cash and goes HiMD and spends the extra $ on g= ood mics. But heck, if you can get $350 out of people to fix their R9s then good luck= to you - at least they can trust you to deliver what you say you will so w= hy not ;-) |
