I think they are they are the greatest invention ever and I'd buy one if I could think of something guaranteed to sell in volume.
They are getting better all the time and i've given it lots of thought such as producing forgeries of different things but my brain
seems to stop when it comes to knowing how to make a profit from one of those???

A copied plastic violin ???

Like comparing a mass produced (i.e. factory made..) cheap electric guitar or cheap plastic acoustic toy to a hand-crafted unwired wooden version...

Probably okay for those tone deaf people who can't hear the warmth of tone and timbre that only comes from wooden instruments..

Like claiming a $6,000 Chinese or Indian made car is as good as a new Mercedes, BMW or Lexus. After all, they all sit on four wheels, and moved by engines.

Or that the flesh from sardines is the same as salmon -- afterall, they're both fish, aren't they ?

I have to agree with wolfie here, even on my specialist speakers that sounded "canned" and lifeless, lacking the warmth and depth of tone you would get from a REAL instrument. Lots of "top" and no depth, caused I would think by a predominance of odd harmonics and a distinct LACK of even harmonics....

passable for the uneducated, but a total miss for me I'm afraid

Its like the difference between even the BEST transistor amp and a even mid range valve amp

the valve amp will win anytime in terms of tone and sound quality

because.......a transistor amp emphasises odd harmonics and a valve emphasises even harmonics....

ODD harmonics make the sound sharp and "spikey"
EVEN make the sound mellow and deep

I dont think you've seen the brilliance of those machines yet.
