Wouldn't it be nice if every booth had their version of Tyll to take the visitor on the Tour of the Product?
The reality is that many folks are working off a prepared script, ask a question and you might de-rail their train of though.
In the Auto Show business, we don't let people ask Questions. You want to know sump'm, ask the Dealer!
Besides, many of these 2-Channel guys are struggling to sell. Have a look-see at Michael Fremer's tour of Audio Research followed by a look-see at his tour of REGA. The Europeans are far beyond the US outfits in most things including having products that sell well.
One more thing is that 2-Channel will view a Woman as a Bubble-Gum. 2-Channel is Man territory far more than the democratic world of headphones where women are viewed as Prime Customers, I'd even suggest that headphone people know that women love music.
Women ( wives ) are nearly adversaries to the 2-Channel outfits selling $5,000 wires and such. Women are rational, not quite given to the hocus-pocus of rituals like Wire Trusses and Tip-toes.
I've worked with 2 Women CEOs, the stories they tell about being invisible seemed amazing to me until I traveled with them and saw for myself.
MQA is about to hit like a Shock-Wave. Record Players and related stuff will probably be un-sellable again, a whole lot of 2-Channel is Analog based, these 2-Channel guys will be hurting more than they are now.
You're doing nice work, Stereophile is advancing, you get to work with Tyll and JA. You've won Life's Lottery!
