Thank you! So very well put, it is true that it is almost unbelievable. In fact I didn't believe it when he spent hours doing R&D for my special request and then told me how much extra it would cost, I actually had to question Luis about him low balling HIMSELF! I hope that Luis won't mind, but when I paid for my order, this is the response I got. Now everyone this is a product in high demand. Read this:
I never for once take for granted the trust and belief you and the rest of my customers put into my work. I really, really appreciate it.
Says it all really. I have had my ups and downs on Head Fi, mostly because of "The Human Condition" rather than anything headphone or technicality related. I think this experience has renewed my faith that there are new avenues to explore which do not just include people buying something from Amazon and then deconstructing it ad nauseam.
I have a rule with my Art collecting, I have to meet the Artist and I have to like him or her too. I need to look at the work and see a good person behind it. This is particular to me and not a hard and fast rule for Art collecting, although it has served me well.
And now I have found a manufacturer of one of my other passions that I can apply the same to. I bet they will sound all the better for it, they after all do already have a soul.
Interesting that the other pair of high end Artisan In Ear Headphones I bought, have not been out of the box for probably close to 8 months after the thread about them was simply not to my taste.
Nice to see some bonhomie back on Head Fi
YO!
