Where Coming Back

I am with you Dayglow..... Yet, finances are the underlaying issue. Too many toys and not enough money! Back in the 80's when I started this crazy hobby, I had a lot less monthly payments. Now, internet, satellite TV, cell phones and the list goes on.....

the customer base for expensive gear is declining.

i would also suggest that the purchases, as measured in revenue, of so-called high-end gear is also declining.

therefore, the industry known as high end is one of supply exceeding demand. such is not a recipe for success.

I dunno, I go to CES and I don't see these companies hurting for the most part. Unless it's all a big tax write-off combined with smoke and mirrors.
