The beginning of the matter, is to find a good-looking (in line with the aesthetics of girls) and good sound (the wife mainly listens to human voices) stereo, the family (used to) have JBL war drums, Harman Karton Crystal, Razer Leviathan, Huiwei M200, are spurned (ugly or bass is too heavy / the voice is not transparent). Finally in 2019, I took a fancy to Marshall Stanmore 2 (and Kilburn 2) and got my hands on it (with the free postage of Prime members who gave away their first purchase, 1714.48 yuan after tax)
I bought it in 2019, why am I writing articles now? Because I bought three sets back and forth.
The article is too long, summarize first:
The imitation I got:
1, the weight is almost no different from the genuine product,
2, the R and TM behind can not see the difference, the words on the vinyl are also centered,
3, can be connected to the APP, can be displayed is white Stanmore 2, you can use the APP to adjust the volume, timbre,
4, the sound quality can not hear much difference.
If you can't judge the true or false with a subjective sense of hearing only based on excellent ears, then you can only disassemble the machine to judge! Can only be disassembled to judge! Can only be disassembled to judge!
That's it. The specific process and dismantling details, and listen to me slowly (multi-map warning!). Long warning!! ）

Skipping through the box, marvel at the appearance is indeed good-looking, more than a thousand as ornaments are also worth the ticket price! I didn't expect a word to become a slur, and I couldn't turn it on after listening to it once.
Although the audition sound effect is satisfactory, the three frequencies are clear, and the human voice is transparent, but it can not be a disposable product, ah, listen to it once and it is really an ornament!
Repeated plucking, long pressing of the lever, a trick does not work, angry power, a verbal abuse: the Internet said that Marshall is wrong with the truth.
Suddenly remembered the four philosophies of life to restart try, then I can re-plug the power supply? Holding the luck psychology to plug the power supply and then press the boot - Dingdong.
Guys, it's powered on again.
After many studies, it was found that within about 1 minute of just shutting down, you can use the lever to start the machine again, otherwise you can only unplug the power supply and re-plug it to start the machine.
WTF, this is a circuit problem that cannot be solved at my high school physics level, and it is very troublesome to return and exchange goods, do I have to make it up?
It didn't take long for me to decide to return the item without having to struggle, because I noticed that the lights of the three knobs were no longer lit.
With years of unboxing experience and a keen sense of smell, I can be almost certain that this is a brand new machine that came to me from the factory and carries a unique fragrance and the smell of wood, which further confirms the rumor of Poor Quality Control of Marshall.
Amazon requests a return. It didn't take long for X-Pass to pick up the goods. It took a long time for the refund to arrive.

Fast forward to May 2021, when I accidentally made my wife recite the sound I had missed in those years. However, buying a second Stanmore 2 is not to make up for the previous regrets, but there is still no better choice. Search for sea amoy, no good price. Search for salted fish, a variety of "Marshall" sound overwhelming, with Kilburn bearing the brunt: 700 pieces, European version, overseas version, absolutely original unsatisfactory package return... I almost believed, fortunately I searched for Aunt Zhang, the history of the National Bank of China is low 17xx, the history of the European version is low 11xx, and reason tells me that the price is a penny, which is an eternal truth. At this price, many people buy gifts or as company prizes, sellers are fake, buyers don't care about true or false, and they really sell very well. There are even a few that clearly say that it is produced by Huaqiang North, which confirms my guess even more. As for the Stanmore 2, the price is within a reasonable range: the European version is around 1700. But With Kilburn full of fakes, how can Stanmore 2 be spared? In the end, I decided to look for a credible second-hand on Xiao Huang. At that time, the new machine price of the National Bank of China is 3299, and there is a local one that has just been bought for 5 days of the National Bank of China 2500 out, which is more exciting, but think about it for a one-year warranty, spend 1000 yuan more, or it is not worth it. So there was a second experience.
How can we not believe it to be true? So a refreshing chat, at the price of 1550 transactions.
When I got out of the box, first I felt like the weight was a little light, and then the mesh surface made me feel uncomfortable, as shown below
The overall mesh is a wavy shape of "~~~~", which I remember should be straight.
If you look closely, the above traces are also very uneven:
Secondly, there are also signs of fading in the English text at the top:
At this time, I thought that most of them were imitations. Plug in the power supply, put a ferry, the sound quality is not bad, non-professionals do not listen to the shortcomings, only feel that the high and low tones are in place, slightly mushy. After all, I heard the sound quality of the genuine product two years ago, and the first sound was very amazing, and this one did not. Ask the seller for confirmation, the seller is also a cheerful person, so there is this conversation:
One does not do two. Now that the sellers have said so, I decided to break it down. And tell the seller that if I tear it down myself, I will bear it.
So, let's get started!
After opening, the soundproof cotton can be seen, and the genuine product is not
Take apart with soundproof cotton
The two small horns inside are different from the genuine ones
The two small horn styles are not correct
The four resistor blocks marked "100" are different from the genuine products
The resistor pattern with the word "100" printed on it is incorrect. The most surprising thing is that the main control module actually has a Chinese "white" word written on it... (It should be to avoid color confusion when installing the machine, resulting in inconsistencies with the color of the shell displayed in the APP)
There are also some other details that are not shown one by one, so it is completely certain that this is a replica. Contact the seller, the seller is also very surprised, but the seller is very cheerful, free shipping returns. My second Stanmore 2 is just saying goodbye again.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > three times</h1>
After two tosses, I did not dare to buy the second-hand, and the second did not dare to buy the so-called European version, because even if I bought the genuine European version, I was still not sure which day there would be a quality problem. So just take advantage of 618, buy a flagship store on cats, dogs and dogs to buy a national bank. Tossing these times, the National Bank is also the hope of the whole family.
The opportunity will come soon: the warm-up activity will begin in early June, various offers and coupons, down Dongge self-operated 2664, Ma Dad Cat Officer 2578, but Dongge self-operated is definitely worth this premium! Both sides are 30-day insurance, and there are 24 installments, as the saying goes, 24 installments are equal to free delivery, (I am really glad that the local 2500 of my knife to 2200 has not sold me, thank you for the seller's big brother's mercy) decisively placed an order! The next day after placing the order, I suddenly found that I could use a 10% discount consumption coupon, and applied for a difference of 289 yuan, 2396 yuan, 24 installments, and spent 154 yuan to buy a 5-year warranty, excluding quality troubles, and perfectly won this treasure that spanned three years! (Later, it was also found that the shopping store gave away 5500+ points, and 4500 points could be exchanged for a Marshall headset worth 460, which could not be more cost-effective)
Looking forward to three days, finally arrived, excited heart, trembling hands, for a long time there is no such feeling, because buying this stereo is really too tortuous!
Unpacking is no longer a vigilant and cautious mindset, but "I want to see what the genuine product looks like"
Without further ado, this time directly above the picture:
Open the box and curl up a little
Opening the visible fragile sticker up a little...
There are fragile stickers left in the torn places, and it can be seen that the warped places are naturally formed, and the quality control of this fragile stickers is not good...
The front is more regular
The details are still not very good, forcing the quality control of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Two marked details on the back
Remember the resistance marked on the imitation "100" above? Authentic like this
The fake trace is instead on top of the snap
This position is all ugly, can you tell the real from the fake?
Genuine three horns vs imitation three horns
After looking at its inside, after the eye addiction, seriously put it back, play the music, the familiar sense of amazement is back, the three frequencies are really too clear, the vocals are really too sexy, the bass is not thick enough compared to my other stereos, but who will take such a polite box to listen to the times? Even if you forcibly listen to rock and roll, you can also compete with the same price of sound, the level of the instrument is very clear, the sense of distance is close, and the sense of presence is strong. Absolutely not worth it for me to read for two or three years, not to put up with its quality control and small problems, because of this price, there is really no good-looking and good-sounding human voice ringing.
