I’m kinda sad seeing the direction Bad Cat is headed these days. They’ve fallen so far from their former glory

I mean it’s great to see them thinking forward with things like IR and internal loads, but at the same time the build quality seems to have been seriously degraded.

Gone are the days of PTP handwired bulletproof builds. Now it’s all PCB, plastic jacks, PCB mounted tubes…

I bet if people bought the amps in quantities they needed to stay afloat as a company back in the PTP days they wouldn't have gone this way. Kudos to them for keeping jobs and not cutting out of business.

Maybe? That’s all conjecture though

Either way, they are now far more cheaply made but cost the same. I’m not a fan of shrinkflation.

At least the USA Player series was sold at a lower price point.
