[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 116157, member: 67"] Re: New QSC Product - TouchMix "Pretty inside" means that the board/component layout, fit and finish receive the same attention to detail as the exterior, even if the end user never sees it. I agree with your inference that such elegance can be found in value products, too. As for the difficult dance of failure, I think you highlight a certain level of end-user personal maturity (and maybe vocational insight). I think mature individuals realize that eventually all things will fail and that Mr. Murphy, patron devil of failures, will make sure it happens at the most inopportune time. Ubiquity of product and simplicity of field repairs are recognized as value when you can fix the 22A or re-basket a Black Widow 15" in <30 minutes. Immature users complain about the failure while never acknowledging what operational factors might have contributed to that failure. And I see more musicians that own PA "because someone has to buy it" think that things should never fail, whereas soundpersons of the mature variety will manage failures and, more importantly, manage the fix.
