whatever the case, I see two of my names posted in the forum already. Cadence and Tempo. Crossing my fingers here, anyone enter 'Timbre'?

As you can see, Keiko cannot resist the temptation to post pictures of attractive ladies. Sometimes they come out of a thread from the far left field.

If I would have just scrolled up a little and read the older posts about tonight being the deadline...
Anyhow, it's close enough to the deadline that I feel I can share with you guys my winning entry.
Backert Cadence
Say it out loud. It not only has a nice ring to it, it's the sound of a winner.
Cadence is a great name... and is found on a couple of other pieces of electronica, so I ended up ruling it out. (I think--I can only remember one of my entries right now!!

The Official Rules require us to pick a name by Oct. 10 and notify the winner by Oct. 15. If the winner is OK with it, we will announce who they are. This will be a process, because we received 3 or 4 thousand name ideas from over 1,000 entrants. Whew!The preamp specialists. http://BackertLabs.com -

Oh man, over 1000 ? Last time I had to fend off that many was when the family came over for Thanksgiving and a fight broke out over my meatballs.
Hey, if you guys/gals over at Backert would consider it, how about a demo piece to float around ? We do that here with speakers, cables, etc. Gets people familiar with your products and drives that "I want it" factor. By the time it's all done, someone will want to buy it or you can offer it up at a discount....hopefully anyway. Cheap advertising in my opinion and creates buzz for you guys. You know the audio world thrives on Buzz, as we all do here too. Just think about it anyway, again, thanks for the introduction and opportunity.HT SYSTEM-

Now THAT is good stuff there! My biggest laugh of the day.
Heck, Backert probably gave a free unit to all entries within three of yours, just to be safe.

On board with the demo thing that TonyB. mentions. Yes, we like stuff we can fondle, and we promise to keep our clothes on while doing so....lol.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Just entered 1 name, figured it was all it took 2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge
HT - Polk 703's * NAD T-758 * Adcom 5503 * Oppo 103 * Samsung 60" series 8 LCD -
+1 on the demo thing, though I can't imagine them wanting that $3000 tube preamp
getting (man)handled by whoever they use for shipping any more than necessary.
They could always plan to have one down in southern NJ the end of this month if they want though, I will even deliver it personally! LOL So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Just heard, Backert Labs was attacked by Chuck Norris late last night. He used a single round house kick to the front door to level the facility. All 11 of my preamps were lost in the destruction.
Fleeing the scene on foot faster than a cheetah, Chuck Norris was last heard yelling;
"Chuck Norris can sneeze with both eyes open!!!"
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!!!!Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
Follow the urine trail, since he has gotten way older he leaks a little when he sneezes.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

^^^This man has been marked for death......stay away!! Stay very far away!!
The last thing that will go through your mind will be Chuck's shoe.
Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
You guys got it all wrong. Chuck was too late, the pre amps already went out the door. One is bound to fall off a truck somewhere in the Chicago vicinity....I'll make sure of it.HT SYSTEM-
