Arguably the most humble, yet brilliant designer I have ever met. However, I am very concerned about him on a personal level. Eduardo seems to be wonderfully suited to be a designer. However - IMO - having to run the company, keep everything in inventory, oversee production, pay the bills, etc. simply isn't a part of his skill set. And I suspect he dislikes that part so much that it may eventually cause his company to suffer. But please do not take this as a fact, it's only speculation and maybe a little intuition. I truly hope Eduardo lives long and prospers.  Because if he does, he will make a difference for many others.

Hm, Jim, I read what you said and it absolutely did not impact my perception of that guy.

My recognition of Eduardo’s talents and his “accused” design potency has absolutely no connection with his business management practice. I absolutely do care about his ability to “oversee production” and comply with his vendors. In the very same way, I completely do not care if Eduardo’s company prosper or go to dark; it is the subject of his fanatical wellbeing but not the subject of Sound that he is capable to pull out pile of wires, capacitors and resistors. Sure, I wish better people do better money-wise, but it is absolutely separate topic, the topic that I would like to avoid all together.

I chosen do not acknowledge the business part of audio. Surly, for people who do audio professionally it is not the option but I have my luxury to do it by complete disregarding any other “conditions” then juts unadulterated Sound. The problem with me is that I have seen in what kind of shit my mind turns into when I let the fog of business mercantilism to cloud my better judgment. I also witnessed the same “awareness worsening” processes with many people that I know in audio. So, I would extend to Eduardo a credit for him being a motivation thinker but I would completely disregard how his thinking renders itself into “shippable” and “reviewable” commodities. I case less about Eduardo do in order to satisfy the Atkinson’s distortion analyzer, the Valin’s listening idiocy or the Singer’s marketing appetite of. In fact, I personally know that if Eduardo do come up with something worthwhile then it will not be because of those scavengers but despite of them…
