Hi Gaetan,
Thanks for dropping in from freezing Quebec at this time..... you are, unfortunately, right.

But the world is still a great place. I've just to and from one of my custumers, Ernie and his wife Briony, who live 80 kms south from here in a small community called Bittern - very pretty area by the sea. Ernie has ears which glow in the dark, very acute hearing. We did a long audition of my VSonics, with the new preamp and his Soraya2. Very promising, we really had a great session, and a lovely meal with friends in a magnificent bush setting.
The traffic was marvellous, mostly freeways, it only took 90 minutes. When I left, Melbourne was coming to the end of two days of solid rain, we had 75mm (3" in the old money), and the roads were drying out. I even stopped half way and had a great coffee - at a McCafe - now that was a surprise.
Some years ago, Nelson Pass encouraged me on DIYaudio to release my schematics, but I demurred. It is inevitable that the circuits are revealed eventually - it happens all the time in DIYaudio with older amps - but I think there is some allure in the lady keeping her clothes on, at least for the moment.... Let the customer marry the circuit first, THEN he can take a peek...... it is important to delay gratification to create a little mystery!

And West, I don't mind emails from you at all, only very rarely do I find it burdensome, don't be concerned!!
Cheers,
Hugh
