At first I just read the press release. Then I asked a couple of
friends in the audio business who bought stuff from DST, how were they
doing. They seemed to think DST is doing fine. 3 or 4 hundred
poeple. Wholly-owned factory in China.

Maybe Tymphany, or their investors, has a broad acquisition strategy in
the audio tech space? All us guys can do is quess and watch. Could
be fun. Audio got boring for a while there, don't you think?
