NOOOO.

Looks more like a nitrogen doped nanofibre composite, and if im not mistaken the plastic parts actually look more like kevlar. Come to think of it i think i see some single crystal CMSX4 nickel superalloy in there. Well done sharp incorperating a superalloy containing rhenium, i know rolls royce have a team dedicated to finding that element, but sharp must have a mine ;) ;)

Honestly, chipboard at best with a bit of PVA, and some horrifically cheap plastic. Can't imagine any design went into the enclosure at all, and the fixings holding the plastic on probably involve a few plastic clips and possibly some weak glue.

This thread is amazing, 5* !!!!!!!!!!
 
Me too, been some good one liners !! funny thread...... beats "what 32 inch 1080P screen should I buy" for the 98th time in one week !!! :p

Well going to warm the lounge up, with a few amps, made of metal ! and speakers of MDF and REAL oak wood veneer !! :D .......maybe continue my trip back through the Dire Straits back catalogue ...LOL

Enjoy the music folks........
 
So like erm well, I know absolutely nothing about hifi, but is it like erm like well erm:) his system is like a pc from "toys R them" with a celeron p3 but the Sharp salesman put lots of shiny and go faster stripes on it, not to mention 4 tonnes of mdf and gloss paint, and you peeps are telling him to go try a core duo 2 ultimate pc from OCUK in a nice dark room in a hifi sort of way ?
 
More or less yes. And just like PC's the numbers game is quite meaningless. Sure his handbook says its 100W, whatever..

That celeron from the toyshop might be a 3.2Ghz with 512meg of video memory, but its still outperformed by a 1.6Ghz Core2 Duo, and 512meg of video ram is not enough info to know if its a fast (geforce 8800gtx) or slow (geforce 6200) graphics card.... But on paper it sounds impressive.

HiFi is even more confusing than PC stats to be honest, devices can have paper stats that look wonderfull but they still sound lousy, and paper stats that look terrible, but they really are amazing at making music.

Odds are the figures in his sharp handbook are so twisted, that they are meaningless. Legal yes as sharp can deliver the exact testing process, but meaningless. (Although if comparing two cheap music systems, they probably both use the same meaningless stats, so in a sence they can give some info).

Yes, in the same way a 3.2GHz Celereon is slightly less rubbish than a 2.8GHz celeron. What ever way you look at it they are both ****. :p
