[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 32470, member: 126"] Re: Unbelievable! NO... IMO Good quality is if an ATA 300 case delivers ATA 300 performance, and a ATA100 case that delivers ATA 100 performance it is still good quality. If either doesn't live up to it's performance expectation, then it is low quality. Value is a more subjective characteristic that depends on personal situation. A cheap throw away mixer may be a good value for a one off gig mixing sound in the middle of a mud wrestling match, not such a good value for high end corporate gigs. A 25 year, and a 5 year life expectancy road case can both be good values for different customers with different needs. Note: "Value products" is also code, for low cost, low feature content products. My distinction about quality being relative to design execution is not the generally held view, where many perceive high feature content as equivalent to high quality. I don't share that popular viewpoint. Think of it like a car company that makes both cheap and expensive cars, Both are built to the same high quality standards often in the same factory, but the more expensive car will have more features and be perceived as higher quality because it is more expensive.
