I just don't get it. Always the negativity.

And if it's all so bad, why not link us to a better product? Why just bitch? Seems like some weird form of jealousy?

For the ones who feel TE pricing is ridiculous, all you need is function and the experience of using something don't matter much - yeah then TE perhaps is not for you ?

Personally I see my OD-11's doing double duty as sculptures and speakers, bringing me more than just sound waves, most speakers are huge and ugly - these guys ooze 1960's and Kubrick

My OB-4 loop function brings a playful way for me to save loops for my wife to discover, so it's a social object as much as a minimalist boom box ?

To me these are art pieces with a personality and if you ever owned a painting or some jewellery, why should electronics always be about function and price with disdain for aesthetics... ..cables, dust balls and wall warts anyone ?

I sometimes prefer to not have a function if the price is an eye sore.

There's more to life than function.

Bring on the flames ♥

You can get something like a Tascam DR-07XP for $150 and it does 32bit float format with essentially unlimited dynamic range. I will never need to buy another field mic.

They make expensive bespoke parts with barely enough features to lure in the punters, who delight in being special while devices 1/3rd the cost do far, far more ..
