[Harp-L] knockoffs

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

Just to hear from Cruncher or 410/SS customers, as some other attempt to  
copy my amp will be made, only with a no frills,  ; low end cover, no  
commitment to a finish that will last two lifetimes, and no proven track record.  
My cost to build what I personally feel and all you customers feel are the 
best  buy for their investment, which is why I make less and offer them at 
the lowest  price for my overhead. Please tell me, would you all prefer 
spending this  slightly reasonable amount more to get all the annuities you get 
with  my amps; thick padded Tuki cover, mirror like finish, overkill on the 
values of  my NOS PIO capacitors, custom power and output transformers for 
True 35 watts of  power, extra package to actually have 3 amps, color 
illustrated bound manual  that gives you information about amps, mine and others, for 
life, and much  more... OR, would you want a cheaper version, where tweed 
will fray in a few  years, corners are cut just to get a lower price.  Now 
going into my 18th  year I will continue doing it as always; respectfully 
supply customers with the  best possible product I can produce with all my 
experience, continually pushing  the envelope. 
 
Please let me know. You all have stated how surprised you were when you  
pulled off the cover to such a glass like finish, where nothing can penetrate 
it  other than major chemicals. Should I cut out the package and manual to 
save $50,  putting some cheap PDF file for a manual on what does what. How 
about cheap  finish or no finish to save $100 ( 4 coats of tint followed by 4 
coat of hard  shell clear, an extensive process ). I have a superb company 
complete the build  with my custom parts, all of them, which is the other 
cost. To just copy  everything from the normal and crystal channel to the "true 
tone" line out, you  can't buy customer service from 18 years and well over 
5000 emails, voices,  suggestions on what YOU want, and the highest quality 
with a FAIR price is what  I will continue to offer. Thank the many 
potential testers who are offering  their services. I don't think there is anything 
wrong in giving back to those  when sales occur enough so they can have a 
really nice dinner with a loved one,  off the top, not added on. 
 
My prices will stay as long as possible where they are, as I continue to  
build and Can build to other specs if you want to kick it by me. I am sure I  
have tried any combination you can think of.
