Yes indeed, that is the same Alpine car audio company.  I worked as a sales rep for 5 years with a rep company that our biggest earning line was Alpine.  From there I went to work directly for Alpine and climbed the corporate management ladder.  It's a truly wonderful company that takes very good care of the employees.  The big bucks is the OEM accounts but I worked in Aftermarket, which is the product you guys are familiar with.  Much more fun that engaging with car manufacturers for the OEM business.  A $2.4B global company and about $840M in North America. As you can imagine, I have had some truly great car audio systems over the years.  Even better, I was able to use my Promotional Account to place great demo systems in my sales reps vehicles as well as my own.  Oh boy, a grand Alpine system for free!!!

OK, on to my play list for the evening.  End of the day, time to play.
This is my 5000th post! Glad to be doing it in the best thread on A-goN.........

For my happy 5000th benchmark I decided to play one of my favorite albums, by one of my favorite artists.......

Without further ado, I present......

Elvis Costello - "All This Useless Beauty" - M.O.V. 180 gram audiophile pressing
