This sounds like what Harman did to Lexicon - putting an intact OPPO disc player inside their sheet metal enclosure and selling it for 5 times more than the plain old OPPO.

Lotsa profit in sheet metal these days.

Darn turntable looks nice though . . . and, just think, *** ONLY*** $10,000 plus tax, shipping. and handling

And I used to be an all Mark Levinson stereo person - everything but the turntable, that is. Now, I can do Mark Levinson EVERYTHING.
