This was one of the first photos I took. I

suppose I took it because I had not heard of

Sonoro before and the evergreen success of

the small 'clock radio' market always amazes

me.

It takes awhile to get my 'show legs' and to

get a 'feel' for what is 'hot', or even

'interesting'. A lot of this has to do with what I

saw at CEDIA - if I saw it there, then it does

not seem so important to investigate here.

I cannot decide if this is

funny or horrific. Funny

because 'Dummies' is

branching out into this

specialty so absurdly

distant from their

core-competency of

publishing self-help

books - they are now

selling cables. Horrific

because unless these

cables are decent, they

will bring many a good

system to its knees,

and many a consumer

to avoid the high-end

industry all-together as

they think of us as

screetchy sounding

not-ready-for-prime-time

trash.
