Thanks for the correction.
Actually, I remember back in 94 calling Spectral and speaking to a Keith Johnson but Rick Fryer does not come to my mind. Anyways, I got a mouthful whoever he was and all that Stradivari stuff and I said ,well a Stradi does not depreciate and almost every other electronic items does and the phone went dead. So that was my first and last experience with the Spectral crowd.
The other character who has his ego stick out like Mt Everest is Mark Levinson. Phew! This guy is the limit.
Then u take someone like Jud Barber of Joule Electra who is HP's favourite amp today and he is the sweetest guy you can imagine. An absolute gentleman, humble and actually blushes when you praise him. This man oozes with knowledge and it is a real pleasure to speak with him.
I also spoke with Manual Huber of FM Acoustics back in 90 & 91 and he sounded quite refined and impressed me with his passion for audio. Today, he is hardly involved. At least that is the impression.
Another creative genius is Dieter Burmester of Burmester Audiosysteme. And he too is a gentleman, scientist and artist. An amazing designer and one that makes high end such a valued hobby. Again, he too is humble, simple and meticulous. His face shines like a schoolboy when you ask him to explain about his design philosophy and he has the magic touch of emersing his listener into his holistic world of musical truth. No wonder, he is a legend.
