What happened to Exact Power

In 2008, Exact Power was bought by Middle Atlantic Products, a manufacturer who built rack and mounting hardware for commercial/industrial power products.

It seems Mid-Atlantic has little interest in EP's niche, high-end, audio market and wants to broaden the potential market to whole-house power solutions.

They no longer make any of the products that made EP so great.

Ron Jackson still seems to have his Jackson Engineering transformer and toroidal companies in Chatsworth, CA. But it seems he's setting up Magnetic Core Corporation to expand into the consumer electronics, PDA, and computer industries.

Neil, I really think it is great that a CEO would take the time to meet with a hobbyist who is outside of his target market. This kinda gives me hope.

I never got the chance to own an EP product, but when I owned an Art Audio PX-25 amp, the owner of AA said that EP products were the only ones he found that did not adversely affect dynamics and sound.

Good luck with your meeting

Yeah, I had a hunch you had some juice to get that meeting, Nsgarch ;0)

"as a result of several emails I sent urging him to rethink his marketing strategy. After all, he's a businessman, not a philanthropist ;-)"

I have a good friend from college who started a t-shirt company out of a public storage space and the back of his car. It's a $60 million a tear skateboard/snowboard clothing line w/ 4 different brands.

He said an old ultra-successful business told him early on "If you find customers asking you over and over again for a product, and you don't offer it, then you need to seriously rethink your business plan"

Nsgarch, you rock!

Were they already working on an EP-20A, or is this something you've had up your sleeve?

This is great news for our hobby.

When I owned an Art Audio PX-25 amp, I asked the company's owner, Joe Fratus, which power cleaner/conditioner/etc. I should get which would not negatively affect the amps performance. He said the only products he had ever used, out of many, which did not constrict dynamics, etc. were EP's.

That's a pretty impressive endorsement, for me because makes superb amps and has an incredibly open mind about matching components.
