While i do agree on most of what you said, when it comes to microphones Warm Audio is easily "out-buildeable", and not a great example of how mics should be built. Proven here many times before. On the other hand, there are many other great companies in Warm price range, or much less that would be difficult to beat.if you think you're going to out build Warm Audio? I mean... forget about it. You know what I mean?
How about seeing your own design as a commercially produced product?
It's happened to me more than once...
Then someone produced a kit...then people started selling assembled kits on eBay...then people started selling clones on eBay.
Too bad, I would love to avoid himMic owner doesn't want this guru's name shared.
Some companies don’t publish everything as well making it a bit more of a challenge. For example, I’m the current custodian of scores of volumes of WE engineering information, engineers notes, transformer builds, right down to where the materials were sourced from etc, that was marked “ not for publication”. I’m keeping it that way forever, eventually I will destroy it all.
Actually, I think it’s rather priceless. Engineers handwritten notes that discuss the very detail of the design, materials and even an eye opening insight as to how some of the WE input transformers were designed and built. Calculations etc…but they were never meant for publication…so…"... eventually I will destroy it all."
Oh golly, please don't do that. Is there a university engineering library nearby that you could donate to? The Internet Archive?
Is it really worthless?
Yes, but I'm sure the 'Not for Publication' was a corporate mandate for competitive reasons, not the wishes of engineers working in the lab. The WE that produced transformers is long gone, so why not honor the hard work of the people who designed and created innovative products, instead of tossing it in the trash. The choice is yours...Actually, I think it’s rather priceless.

The WE IP had economic value, which since have passed. You imply that you hold that IP and plan to destroy it, to protect economic interests of who?Some companies don’t publish everything as well making it a bit more of a challenge.

You’re probably right. Never thought of it that way. Perhaps finding an institution as previously suggested would be the right path.The WE IP had economic value, which since have passed. You imply that you hold that IP and plan to destroy it, to protect economic interests of who?
That's like burning the library of Alexandria.
Historic information should not be destroyed. Much of the art of making things are not contained in patents, usually as little as possible is included. The secret of successful products are in manufacturing processes and sourcing of materials, quality controls etc etc.
Do not destroy the WE historic records, its like taking a crap on the people who sourced it.
