One wonders how often crap like this is happening. Audioholics tore open a $3500
Lexicon BD-30 Blu-Ray player to discover something odd; it looked strikingly
Similar to the OPPO BDP-83 that sells for $500!!!! In fact it was the same unit right down to the chassis.
Testing revealed that although it had THX certification, it failed the tests in their lab.
Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do....
