Does anyone here know who is making capsules for Bock/Soundelux? I'm curious. They don't make their own, right?
Heiserman capsules are good sounding, kind of vintage flavour.Wordsushi said:Aw damn... now my brain is starting to wonder what a u195 would sound like with a Heiserman. Stupid brain.
Tim Campbell said:Actually the story I know about 797 comes from my friends at Microtech Gefell. They told me that under communism they were sent to China to help improve chinese microphone technology. The company they helped became 797.
Tim Campbell said:Jakob Erland and I were on 797's booth once talking to them about their products. They opened a laptop to show us their upcoming preamp. It was a schematic of Jakob's G9 from his website with his name on it. We pointed to his name on his badge and the name on the schematic and told them it was his. They didn't understand our point
We got a complaint that this pose is racist, while off topic and a little hyperbolic it is mostly accurate about some of the cultural differences (not about eating us raw), but about trading favors for privilege (like cutting line).AusTex64 said:I have a vendor who’s done a ton of business in China and has a Chinese wife. He taught me some things:
- The Chinese are raised as socialists their entire life. They have no real grasp of personal ownership. Everything belongs to everybody. He could not stress this enough, and said it’s nearly impossible for us to grasp how truly different we are in this regard. There is no real legal, moral or social penalty for appropriating anyone else’s ideas.
- He gave this example of a social situation and how our cultures differ. “Imagine there’s q long line to get into a popular restaurant, and someone cuts into the front of the line. In America, there would likely be some comments along the line of ‘hey, WTF are you doing, wait your turn like everyone else’, maybe even a brawl. In China, no one would say a word. Instead they would all be thinking ‘maybe that will be me next time’. Lesson - what we would consider rude is socially acceptable in China.
I own a very small company that is a super niche business. 10 people. A few years ago, I started getting texts and emails from friends at the InfoComm tradeshow saying “I didn’t know you have a Chinese subsidiary”. We don’t. A guy in China started a copy of our crappy little company! Same name with one letter changed, copied our logo. We’re old guys, so we didn’t have a FaceBook page. Wrong, turns out we did - this guy had used our name and was directing people to him! I used to have a more lassiez faire attitude about the Chinese - no more. As a friend of mine said “they want to eat us - raw.” I could not agree more.
We don’t need to worry about a Chinese military invasion - they’re already here. It’s a financial invasion, and we just open the doors and invite them in.
