A little image on my sb live sparked thoughts in my brain. the image was Creative 1997(on the EMU10K1) I was thumbing through the sb live install manual and thought" how complete this is". Anyone who bought a voodoo2 at least in the beginning knows that the install manual was basically a pamphlet. I recently read in a Robertson Stevens report that the sb live was actually delayed due to inventory sell through. I remembered previous statement regarding inventory(2 qtrs. ago) that inventory was high quality. Sb live value released very shortly after sb live. Sb live is widely available on the web. I believe that Creaf has shipped alot a sb live this qtr. The manual is very complete unlike the rushed voodoo2. I think we can see a good reduction in this qrts inventory, the only offset might be increase inventory of costly speaker components. Creaf will launch the 5.1 this month and 7.1 in october, 4.1 must be in a ramp currently. This qtr may be very very good. I think creaf blew out their voodoo2 at the end of last qtr and audio will be a large increase in % revs. I really believe sb live allot further along in the production ramp than I could have dreamed. I think that the product delay of 2 months did not impact the actual product ramp, in fact might have helped in increasing inventory to help availability at the release time. mike...btw sb live is sweet!
