RE: A more sober and sane article on the Lexicon from Chris Martens

Posted by Jazz Inmate on January 28, 2010 at 14:56:50:
Two points that show why Lexicon's collaboration with Oppo was advantageous and why Lexicon can charge a premium for its target market, namely existing Lexicon owners:

1. Lexicon worked with Oppo on the design, and Lexicon's recommendations were incorporated by Oppo.

2. Lexicon assembled the rebadge in the US (expensive) and installed firmware that optimizes how the player works with other Lexicon gear.

Audioholics went on a smear campaign by pretending the Lexicon and Oppo were targeting the same market and that Lexicon didn't have a relationship with Oppo. The Lexicon BD-30 is for anyone who has a Lexicon pre/pro/amp setup and can afford the premium price. Otherwise, buy the Oppo. No one is asking you to be thankful that Lexicon was involved and had its improvements incorporated in the Oppo design, but the least you could do is stop this nonsense about fraud, which is a term with legal ramifications that are clearly not applicable here. You decided to join the Audioholics lynch mob like a lemming. But that was then. This is now. It's time to snap out of it.
