Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&AI could not agree with you more John. We forgot to read page two of "manufacturing for dummies" and nearly went bankrupt because of it. We had our guys there during all subsequent production runs and those problems went away. There are some really good products coming out of China these days. I am very happy with all of my A&H and Soundcraft consoles among other things. Your point about supervision at critical stages and control applies to any manufacturing process no matter where it is or what country it is in. We learned the hard way just as Uli did and are now better because of it. I mentioned the China experience because it hit home with me but it has everything to do with being in control and taking responsibility for the quality of your products yourself. I didn't hear Uli blaming China or anyone else. He didn't know just like we didn't know and then you have all the other factors involved like language, culture, and sheer distance. Once we figured out what the problems were we handled the situation. My new found confidence in Behringer product quality comes from actually taking time to research it after reading the exchange between Jack and Uli. I will shamefully admit that I wouldn't have even considered it before this thread. Even Evan's (whose opionion I greatly respect because of his quickness to tear into a product if it is bad) recommendations of some Behringer products would not have gotten me to buy anything with the yellow triangle on it. Uli if you get a chance to read this the only other question on my mind is John's original question about IP which you said you would answer when you could take the time. What ever the answer is we all appreciate your time and honesty with us.-Eric
