So we got a little attention lately on AV's Forum with a rehash of the Axiom measurements Danny at GR Research did for us on a few of their speakers that we did not produce an upgrade for and Axiom owners didn't like the results. (Sorry!?!)
Well I posted a response and all has seemed to go back on topic and off us. Thank god.
But now you may be asking what has been going on with Skiing Ninja cause Mrs. Ninja you haven't posted in forever? You would be correct sir. Our forum was hacked (super thanks to the douchbag who has too much time on his hands that he felt he wanted or "had to" do something like that) but not the end of the world. We did wonder whether it was advantageous for us to put up a forum at all. If you have thoughts let me know. mrsninja@skiingninja.com
The audio industry has turned in the last year. Mark Scheifter of AV123 jailed for fraud, several companies have gone under, lost many to death (because as I have said we are a group of old men), and I was asked to write a artical of who I thought the 40 most upcoming people in the industry under 40 were. Sad thing was I could not come up with more than 13. REALLY!!!! Time Magazine has the owner of Facebook on its cover as the man of the year and he's a baby (27) and I can't find 40 people in the entire audio industry that are up and coming or I would have taken doing anything. Everyone is over 40. WE have no new blood and we are dying out. Our sales are slipping and companies are failing. I am so sad right now so yea I have not been posting here, Facebook or Tweeting because who is out there anymore?
We made some new goals this year and one was to figure out a way to bring in new (younger) people, the next generation of audiophiles into the industry and we have not been doing a very good job. Even The Ninja and I are 30 somethings so we too will no longer be who I am looking for.
Lastly, we are cleaning house, and the following products are being retired so we can make room on our site for new and upcoming things. These will be available only until the end of August and then they will be taken down from the site. If you have one of these and in the future you wish to have a upgrade custom made it will be priced out then and we do not guarantee that it will be possible so now is the best opportunity if you have ever thought of upgrading.
ELT LRS, Rocket 450, Rocket 750, Rocket 760, Onix Reference 0.5, x-omni, Strata Mini, TCA WAF1, Emotiva, Insignia, JBL, and SPICA
