But you can dream, right?

I thought you were going to show me how to design a amp that was
superior to mine... and was a product that was easily manufactured,
repeatable, reliable, and profitable. Business-101 Frank. From what I
can see of your design concept so far... you should reply... "none of
the above"... LOL


Repeatable -- Not only am I making the final design public, the entire
process is going to be public domain. You, OTOH, won't even release
your schematic for fear of constructive criticism.

Reliable -- In case you haven't been paying attention, the fundamental
concept of the design is longevity. These amps are going to be around
and working long after you and your amps are dead and buried.

Profitable -- I have saved the best for last. The -best- thing about a
modular design is that it is perfectly LEGAL!!!. I can manufacture and
market the chassis and modules independently under the premise that no
component, in and of itself, constitutes an amplifier. The only way
the government can touch this is if they outlaw every aspect of hobby
electronics and the sale of each and every component, which we all
know isn't going to happen (unless Bush declares a national emergency
right after the 2008 election, refuses to give up his office, and
installs a Republican dictatorship). There isn't one business-person
on the planet that wouldn't invest in a business that can open up an
entire market that was previously illegal. That, my friend, is called
"profitable".

But you go ahead and continue your work on your diminutive little amp,
knowing that your market is limited in both scope and time. Feel free
to waste your time on a product that will soon be without a market.
The only thing you have going for you is the price.... but then again,
have you done any market research lately? Do you know what people will
pay for a decent amp? Probably not. But I have.

So now that the cat's out of the bag, how hard are you going to fight
this? Or would you rather buy into it and make a ****load of money?
Feel free to email me with your answer.
