[QUOTE="Steve Kirby, post: 145535, member: 9411"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A This old thread popped up and I took some time to read through it since I've not been a fan of B gear for awhile. Mostly due to poor performance of the lower end rack gear I've had and flipped. This caught my eye though. Back in the '80s when I worked on avionics that used CRT displays involving very fast stroke symbology interspersed in the raster retrace there was a fellow who developed a deflection amplifier that stored back EMF from the raster scans and used it to improve it's power efficiency. I suggested to him that a 15% efficiency gain would own the then burgeoning car audio market (this was before they started putting 20 batteries in the cars) but he consider audio to be beneath him. Gotta love eccentric analog geniuses. I also noted the claims of automated x-ray equipment that could prevent defects. I've dealt with these machines and their oversold claims for 20+ years. HP bought a small company in Colorado called 4Pi that developed them but later abandoned the market selling the IP to some people in Malaysia. You still have to have an operator staring at a screen looking at 50% of the machines rejections to screen down to the possible few percent that might actually be bad. $500,000 boat anchors that consume production labor with little return other than the marketing appearance of doing something about product quality.
