Thanks
Jason!
I look forward to working with NuForce, it's customers and dealers for a long time to come. You know, I've observed a lot of high-end companies over the years, but few have impressed me as much as NuForce. Seldom does one see a company so committed to bringing the best technology possible to as wide a range of consumers as you (we) do. While many of the others do develop excellent products, it seems more often than not that they loose sight of the fact that the products that result will ultimately end up being beyond the reach of most individuals.
In fact, it seems that the common theme guiding their development process is to simply expend large sums of money on expensive and/or exotic materials and parts. While we all know that doing so at least offers the potential for improved performance, it inevitably carries a high cost along with it. Even then, whatever performance gains that are achieved are often marginal at best.
In contrast, this is why I accepted your kind offer. NuForce doesn't work that way. You... as I... believe that innovation and solid engineering is the key. I once worked with a pioneer in amplifier design that was known for saying that "Any engineer can take a dollar's worth of parts and make a dollar product. It takes a REAL engineer to make that same product with only a dime's worth of parts." Not to say that NuForce uses cheap parts whatsoever, but you get my point. Solid science and true innovation is the key, and NuuForce has always been about that concept.
Besides all of that, you guys are really good people and you take care of your customers. I grew up in a little country grocery store and watched my dad run his business from my earliest memories. He not only treated everyone extremely well, but actually helped many to survive by extending them credit. When he passed away the estate was owed many $10Ks as a result, but then they had to open up a second funeral parlor to hold all of the flowers too. What kind of price can you put on that? I know where he is now and that he got every dime back... and then some. People are what its all about in the end. Sure... we all have to make a living from what we do, but God knows there are more profitable ways to do that than building high-end audio products. "People" and enjoying what you do are what the whole big picture is all about, and you guys have shown me by example that you see things the same way I do in that regard.
Anyway, thanks again and I'd like to let all of NuForce's customers know that I'm here to help in whatever way I can. I may need a little time to get up to speed on all of the technical product details, but I'll do whatever I can and get the info needed to do the job. One way or the other we'll make sure your needs, questions and requests are met to the best of our ability. Best wishes all and...
Take care,
-Bob
