So they can continue listening to music after a nuke has detonated.
We all have our priorities.
Duh.........

I find Blair/Niteshade to be slightly annoying on AC. He's friggen everywhere. Like a bad cliche used car salesman.
But, I'd like to hear his amps, regardless.

At one point he was going to start selling custom hotrod computers. Not sure what happened with that.

Yes that and some other things I have heard but can't repeat.

I can see a tube newbie getting sucked into his marketing hype, I just shake my head, because I was there once, I would have eaten it all up.

Now I am wiser...and more cynical!

I certainly didn't want to start this and have the guy slandered!!! It's true he comes across like a shoe salesman, but who cares as long as he comes thru. Certainly he will have to make good with some road tours and I'm certain the good folk on AC will be quick to put him in his place if the sound of the amps doesn't match the verbosity. Let's give the guy a chance and see how this plays out before condemning him (and making me feel guilty for having started this  :shock:=

Sounds fair enough to me Shep, although I'll never forget you're the one who started the lynch mob.  :-P

As far as I have read he has resisted sending any units out (not paid for) as listening
samples. Has that changed?

So we will wait for Rollo's evaluation.

I just noticed he has a poll running right now on loaner units.

I think hearing the product will go a Long way--

I hear he is a friend of the owner of AC. Dont quote me on that. Its hearsay, but could be true.
