This has nothing to do with the recent RMAF. I just thought I'd like to share with my audiocircle buds my conversation I had this evening with Albert.

 One of the subs on my VR4 GEN 3 HSE crapped out. I sent it to Albert a couple of weeks ago for repairs and they did a very fine job getting it up and running just like new. two new woofers and repairs to the crossover. I think I know what caused the damage but that is another story.

 When I got it back from Albert I saw that UPS had apparently dropped it hard and damaged the base plate. I sent a letter off to Albert about it. In the meantime rather than waiting for UPS to come and look at it I removed the base plate and did a repair on it. Looks okay now. I'm so proud of myself!

Albert called me this evening and we had a very long conversation about audio. His start in this business and company's he had worked for. How he had heard a whole lot of speakers from a whole lot of manufactures and how they just did not sound right to him. Years and years he spent trying to get the right sound from a speaker at a reasonable cost to us consumers.

Well I guess you guys know that he has it right now.

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation tonight. Albert has a world of knowledge about audio and he enjoys passing it on to DumDum's like me.

                                          Cheers

Lucky you Charlie, when we talk it's long distance!

Sign up for the Google Gmail. You get a phone software program with it and calls in the USA are free for now. From overseas there is a minimal charge. You'll need a mike to speak into. I'm doing it and I canned my ATT long distance service. Still have home phone service.

                                      Cheers

I agree, Albert is a very nice person to talk to, he's very helpful and patient and he gives a lot of valuable insights.

@Jack, LOL when I talked to Albert is was for about 80 minutes and I called him with my cellphone (I have no landline at home anymore) from the Netherlands so you can imagine my face after I received the bill. But it was fully worth it, no doubt about that!

I met Albert, his son and crew at RMAF and I agree with your findings of Albert. In fact, the VS crew was full of great people. We had a good time hanging out and talking. They were right down the hall from us.
