There's a picture of goofball Bob Carver in the magazine, but I can't find it online.

    And I just now contacted Sunfire to become a dealer :(

    Anyway, the rep is very helpful and I might pursue it on the basis that he can help me get good hold in the distributed audio market as well as the "higher" end audio market(if it still applies to Sunfire after a few months).
    Tschüss

    Thanks Mark. I think I've seen goofball images of him from way back (and with real long hair in Phase Linear ads) advertising the cube.

    I tried to get some T-Shirts made with the old Phase Linear Rats logo....but noone would step up and break the law for me.

    That is not real long hair. That is mid life crisis my hair is gonna fall out soon, medium length hair.
    You need it at least a quarter way down the back to call it real long.
    Go Bob Carver :)

    The guy in the image is not Bob Carver.

    The one I was talking about shows him with the "cube" in the palm of his hand and he's standing on one leg.

    They both have moustaches, I'll give you that. Using that criteria, I'm a dead ringer for David Niven, Burt Reynolds, lots of older Greek and Italian women, etc.
