I am feeling sad about you , if you could not differntiate between $5 &$25 thing.
Why most of the pros prefer original acelab pc3000 rather than cheaper chinese? I hope you are intelletcual enough to distinguish between quality components , same board can be made using inferior pcb / older chipset and low grade capacitors. Do you prefer low cost chinese stuff? I have not asked to give me training. If you dont know the answer why making cry foul over it. There are so may peoples to answers & I got answer as well. If you dont know answer /do not want to answer ,simple solution to keep quiet.
Ah Ah ... this is a completely different thing.
- Real pros DO CARE about intellectual property. This may be "naive" or many people think it's not true....
- What makes the difference is not exactly the equipment, but the SERVICE behind equipment. Even if ACE tech support may be not always brilliant, at least , offcially, theoretically, there is one. The same for other equipment. I know there are chinese alternatives to much more expensive equipment, but there is no service behind and NO added value. Personally I am not in search of the less expensive alternative, to me the DOWNTIME for equipment failure is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. Of course all this is reverse charged to my customers, as I have to pay taxes even on the equipment I have or the spares I have to keep in stock, but I think in terms of SERVICE.
It's like buying chinese wrench / ratchet set and go to make maintenance or service, and these tools will break in your hands when used intensively (they will last a lifetime if used once per year , usually - or no ...) , this is a thing I avoid at EVERY COST. This is why I bought at outrageous price tools like Xcelite, Bahco, Cooper and italian brand Beta, Usag. Still using them after 20+ years, never betrayed - I use them to PRODUCE service , they give me SERVICE and all this is ADDED VALUE that means, finally, REVENUE. What's strange in it ?!?
