Thanks for your 'confidence', Hal.
Was in high end audio some years ago and wholly support your observations and encouragement of AXC to return to that marketplace.
(It was long enough ago to find it amusing that the (just-posted) Ray Dolby interview in RH got a few things wrong. RH cited "Henry Koss" as Dolby's first mainstream Dolby 'B' customer. There is, of course, no Henry Koss. Maybe the reporter was thinking of John Koss ("Stereophone" inventor); that, too, would have been wrong. It was Henry Kloss (founder of AR, KLH, Advent & Cambridge SoundWorks), and the company Dolby licensed was (the original) KLH. Nor was the first product a cassette deck, either; it was the Model 40 R-t-R quarter-track deck. And the year cited, 1972, I think, was also wrong--it was 1968! The point? Just another reminder that it's the healthy "inquiry" of the board that matters, not what's in print--even in "hip" places like RH...)
So Hal, isn't it thrilling that these folks are "looking" at so many fertile businesses?
You know, guys, from reading almost 1,000 of your recent posts, I have one (well, maybe a few more in due course) fundamental observation to share with you. And it's a very simple one:
This board is an awesome and elegant machine. Its beauty is a "three-peat": it's comprehensive, tireless and operates on "Internet time." Alas, the corporate world--AXC most of all--is not. At least in part, I believe a central mission of this group is to monitor the extent to which our "once-and-future" High Tech King figures out that Internet time is the *only* time.
