Really ?
How many 20 years old electronic devices do you own ?
How many are over 10 years ?
Would you repair these if they break or would you just take the
opportunity to get a new device which is the current state of the art
on the market ?
I suspect audiophiles which buy a Transporter probably always want to
have the best the market can offer. I bet there are going to be a lot
better stuff than the Transporter handling digital music around year
2020.
I can't say that I own any really high quality electronics, my upper
purchase limit is currently around $10k-$15k per device, but still,
nothing in my music equipment is 10 years old. The amplifier and
speakers are oldest but both are on the "to be replaced soon" list and
none of them are 10 years old. In my world, with a bit lower
expectations, I expect any high quality electronics to survive at least
5 years.
How many VFD display actually breaks ? Isn't this a pretty unusual
issue ?
