RE: "You really can't put a price on that"

I'd rather discuss reality than hypotheticals. I never would buy a Lexicon because I've listened and prefer other gear. The main products I've bought that I've regretted are an expensive Classe Omega disc player and bunch of cheap bicycle pumps. My point is you can waste your money buying expensive crap and cheap crap--all kinds of crap--if you don't do some homework first. In the case of the Lexicon, the only people who would buy this probably have all Lexicon amp and preamp gear--just want to stay in the family, and don't mind getting a rebadged Oppo (as it's well known now what they're getting).

The other point I wish to make is that OEMing is common practice. It's not like releasing a bad or dangerous product, like those baby carriages that chop off the tips of fingers when the canopy is collapsed or cars with faulty breaks or pet food with lethal ingredients. On a scale of product horror shows, Lexicon seems fairly benign to me and while we are not impressed with what they did, it doesn't seem worth the outrage it provoked. Not by a longshot.
