Funny, how our brains are stimulated visually and seek to make connections with previous experiences…
PS
There is a statement at the end of the RH review that struck me:
“It was surprising—and sensational—to discover that these treasured recordings held greater musical expression than I had realized.”
This is an excellent way to describe the most significant improvements in my system over the years…when an old “chestnut” becomes more musically “expressive” (more musical), I know that I have made a change for the better.
It seems out of character to offer a product that should last for the rest of one’s life with a warranty of short duration! If the company goes out of business, warranties would be useless. Also the company operates under consumer laws of Spain ( or the E.U.) which may be different from the U.S. consumer laws! I know when I bought a music streamer from Holland!
The company website will give you a pdf for the Wadax Reference Music Server manual. If I had a 3 year warranty for a life-long music server, I would worry about that product. I would not buy the product even if the Absolute Sound trumpeted this item. P S Audio offers a 30 day return for its products. I do not see any such offer from Wadax!
Wadax are evidently making some fantastic sounding gear. I suppose until you hear it you won’t know if the 3 year warranty will be worth the gamble. As always, it’s about perceived value. Someone buying at that price will have the same expectation of value as me buying a $5k product, and we usually see similar length warranties at this price.
Kia are offering 10 year warranties. What do Mercedes and Ferrari offer?
