Default Directed Amplifiers

Don't put words in my mouth, pal... what I said was I didn't know the
inner details about the companies in question during that part of their
history. I know the products a lot better than you, which is no surprise
given I worked with many of them over the 17 years I spent working in
retail before moving to Directed. My first exposure was with a/d/s/
products starting in 1977, at Howard Sound's Denver and Boulder
locations. We sold and installed the a/d/s/ 2002/Nakamichi 250 systems,
also the passive 200C and 300C. I own a couple of those systems still...
also worked with more of that early stuff including the 2001 version
with outboard power amp, the first-gen P100 PowerPlate, 300i's, pretty
much all of their mobile products in the period of 1981-1993 here in San
Diego while working at Radioman, and again after founding La Jolla Audio
where we carried the entire mobile line. We were also an authorized
Orion dealer, and as I mentioned elsewhere, dabbled in Precision Power.
We also had a good friend that built competition vehicles with PPI at
the time, and spent sometime playing with their larger surfboard models
as a result. I've installed and repaired all of the above, along the
way. It's not clear to me what your expertise on these products stems
from, other than being confused by a similar heat sink shape.

And, you seem very willing to ignore the comments by John Andreen, all
of which rebutted your claims and which demonstrated a very expert
knowledge of the companies and their products back then. What's wrong,
you only go after people you think can't defend themselves? Whatever,
you picked the wrong target this time... but go on insulting me if it
makes you feel better about yourself. It's a lousy excuse for knowing
what you're talking about though...

I'm sure some of the other "morons" that have listened to what I have
said here about DEI products over the past few years will enjoy your
opinion of them, too.

Like I said, make a phone call, you'll see just what a moron you really are.
The only thing that you know is how to talk out your ass about your products.
Trying to tell people how good your new products are while you openly admitted
that you don't know **** about the products that companies such Orion, PPI and
ADS produced before DEI bought them out. Only a moron would believe anything
that you have to say about DEI related products. We both know that the truth
would be against your best interest.



Where did you dig this theory up? You're almost as clueless about trade
law as you are about amplifiers...

seems to me that everyone and his cousin here at RAC has been sweeping
the floor with you, frankly
