As a customer and through my reviewing I have worked several times with Eric Chong and always enjoyed my interactions with him. So when Eric recently decided to take a chance and co-found his own company, I stayed in touch with him to see what he would come up with. Because I know other people here on Head-fi are very curious about his new company too, Eric's a popular guy, I decided it would be okay for me to start this thread (something I usually don't do). The information below is quoted from the Eletech press release. And just to be clear, I am not affiliated with Eletech in any way.
