You could work for any manufacturer, past or present...

Wow!! Talk about feeling out of place. I never have wanted to build electronics nor work with anyone who did. I respect them and their work. But my focus is solely on the music itself. For me, music is not a hobby but a lifestyle. I love listening to it and playing it (drummer/vocalist).

Bill Watkins is the only designer I know. (knew). I met him in his store while looking for speakers. My 1st impression was, "What does this old guy know about stereo?" I soon learned that it was quite a lot. And it shows with his new Gen 4 speakers. Bill had a great opportunity to sell me some speakers that day. Yet he chose to diagnose the problem I had and  fix it which was not a money maker for him. He had my respect from then on. He was honest and a straight shooter. I would have worked for him but only to help market his equipment. You see, Bill was a straight shooter in a world where many enjoy being fed a line of BS.

i think he played music too. Music has been a love affair for me since I was 8 yrs old. At 69 yr old now, I came along at the perfect time to see a revolution in music. They were fabulous times with lots of cutting edge things going on, both with the music & the equipment which it was played.

Please don’t make this weird. ;-)

We just talk mostly about hardware on this forum, so if you think of a car forum, I’d love to work for Ferrari in the early days. That’s why we got here.

If you want to talk bands you’d like to have toured with, that makes a great topic for a new forum in the Music section.

 I meant no offense with my post. It did catch me off guard. It's just an aspect I would never have considered. Doesn't make it wrong though. It may have expanded my view if anything.

I would work with Machina Dynamica. I would learn to run rocks through the rock polisher and test all the different Zip-Loc baggies for sound quality. Together we would fulfill my lifelong dream of travel through time and universes. Maybe even learn how to make your stereo sound better with a phone call. Naw who am I kidding. He would keep me on the rock polisher. But still, to work with such greatness....

You’re hired! We can start by using the rocks in your head.
