Ever since the Sharp digital integrated amp came out, I have been very interested. However, the price was too much for me. After the positive review of one by analog meister Michael Fremer, I was thinking Sharp is definitely onto something.
Anyway, there's a discussion over at the Hong Kong website review33.com about Sharp's entry into high-end audio. Well, I was surprised at the generally negative responses about Sharp. Seems like people there only associated Sharp with microwave oven and the likes. And more importantly, what would others think if they find out I have a Sharp amp??!! The horrors!!
Here's a quote from one of the posters....

Reality is people would buy stuff based on brand images and past experience. Like I do; of all my hifi purchases, I never audition them. I buy them based on listening experience in a hifi show or from reputable magazines (like Hifi choice/Stereophile but never from HK). Toyota has Lexus, Teac has Esoteric, Harmon group has JBL, Revel, Mark levinson, Crown, all under the same group. Would I pay mega bucks for a Sharp - even if sounds mighty good - probably not, even I am not a fool. |
