Like a box that remains the same size over the years, but the contents are gradually reduced.
I would love to have "that much" Mike and Ike's, but it's never in there.
- agumonkey 7y agoThis is a fitting description of audio devices. What used to fill a box is now a 5mm chipset. The perverse effect is that the chip has 20x more options than the original device, so it looks better, but the quality and longevity may very well be degraded in disguise.
- dharmab 7y agoI have to laugh at how large my receiver is when I can peek into the "cooling vents" and clearly see a fairly small solid state board and a ton of empty space.
- tristor 7y agoDepending on your receiver, that may be because it’s trying to conform to chassis sizing requirements to be rack mountable (often via audio shelves, not rails). In the audio world many things use 19” comm racks, much like servers do.
