'When I was a teenager, I was always running from something: the law, the Feds, the draft. Flight took me over the border to Tijuana for contraband, inside a county jail, into the hands of the Secret Service, onto the streets of Haight-Ashbury.'
Some crooks never change for the better.
You can tell a lot about a company by their history, just like Campfire audio which was founded from ALO, a cable company selling cables for hundreds. With all the controversy surrounding their iem's recently I'm surprised people haven't made any connections yet.
This all goes to show how important marketing and aesthetics is. Funny how audiophools say Beats is a ripoff but fall for much bigger scams, at least with Beats it's clear you're buying bass.
