1000+ Head-Fier
Let me start with this "Disclaimer". I never met Jason or anyone from Sleek Audio before today. I have not been given any favors or equipment for writing this review. This visit was so exceptional, I simply could not "not write it"
Today I drove down to Palmetto Fl, the new home of Sleek Audio. Roundtrip it was about 125 miles. I can tell you it was worth every minute and every mile to meet with the gang there.
I was absolutely floored with the "Royal Treatment" I received. At one point I was feeling a little guilty about accepting such treatment. This was the kind of reception that would be ordinarily expected for Audio companies, Reporters and the like.
Just a little Joe-Lunch-Bucket Guy
like me getting my impressions made. Hell the reception was almost worth the price of the Customs.
Jason was so Professional, astute, and courteous. You could tell he was so involved with another music lover. Making the sale would always be important, but I kept getting the impression that Jason was getting much more out of our visit than a sale.
He took me on a tour of the new facilities which was very nice. I got to go into the Lab where all the work is done. These guys even have a device to test and yank, etc each cable to make sure it is strong. I hope I remembered correctly, but I think Jason indicated he believes in burn-in and does so before the units leave.
I met Bill the lead-tech, and he was a joy to talk to. He took time from his busy schedule to show me the entire process from beginning to end. I mean busy (these guys got slammed with orders at CES). Bill showed great enthusiasm for his work. He certainly is no clock-watcher as best I could see. I also met andrew who often takes time to answer some questions for Head-Fiers interested in there products.
I'm sorry for whoever I may have forgotten, but my hat is off to the entire crew. These guys are top notch professionals who enjoy what they do.
I was able to pry very little info out of Jason about the near future of the product line, but Jason was quick to assure me that some exciting times were just ahead. When I tried to get an inside scoop he quickly and very politely indicate his choice not to comment.
Jason took the time to explain how through experience, it is best to assemble his work in-house. Frankly, I had a hard time envisioning how they make much money, given the quality of materials (cables no longer an issue), product assembled in the USA. Marketing, R&D etc makes one see these guys are making long-term investments in what they believe and standby.
If I sound excited I am. I can hardly wait for my new Customs
Thanks to all the Gang at Sleek. You provided an exciting behind the scenes look at great company. Keep up the good work.
