" DaviStretching 2009 ... "
And "DaviShifting" Into 2010 !
If you have visited this area recently and wondered why my first "News Update" for 2010 had not appeared ...
It's because we were trying to stretch 2009 a little longer. This is not because we thought 2009 was a great year or anything like that. On the contrary, like many of you we sort of "endured" 2009 looking forward to better times all around. In some ways, 2009 was a "lost year" for many and, largely due to personal circumstances surrounding a major life change for my aging 93 year old mother, I encountered some of that as well.
Since ours is a very time demanding and time consuming business, It seems as if we are always trying to stretch time here at DaviSound and never moreso than during the past year when I had vowed to finally catch up all of the holdover projects and backlogged work that had carried over from previous times. In that regard, we were largely successful although there were just a few additional holdovers, thus, the "stretch" into the first quarter of '10.
One area that suffered during '09, because of all of this, was our website and that I do regret. That "time factor" again ... already spread thinner than the American dollar and, like the dollar, there's never enough.
But, amongst those New Year resolutions that we all make each year, I have resolved to do much better with updating the website this year. I have a collection of new "FAQs" (which I answered in email but have just not posted to the web page as of yet) and I also have a similar collection of recent "DaviStories" page additions waiting for the time to post as well.
I am also a year behind with completing and documenting the new TB-9 that has been "forthcoming" for so long. Many of you have inquired about that of late. The reason for that prototyping delay should be obvious, when other pecedented commissions had to take priority. I do expect it, along with a newly designed version of our old TB-1, to be introduced before another year winds around. Along with that, expect to see a dual version of the TB-7, as well as a new version of the TB-8-SE amplifier and that vacuum tube mixing console that has been proposed on our Mixers page for awhile, along with some other custom projects also.
And, who knows? I just may get around to completing the rewriting and new graphics for the new version of our old "Tech Reports" DIY audio electronics instructional material to be reintroduced as "DaviSecrets".
So, yet another busy year is in the making here for, this, our 40th anniversary year (June 1970 - June 2010)! And, though I continue to work mostly solo these days, I very much look forward to the challenge!
Creating unique, hand-crafted, lifetime quality, heirloom pieces takes some time and there are no shortcuts even during the best of times and circumstances! So, the sooner you place your order for your own special piece, and get it into the chronological work rotation ...
the sooner you can expect to get your hands, eyes and ears around it!
There is nothing like having the appropriate tool in hand ( DaviSound Tool Box © ™ ) for the job at hand! And there is NOTHING ELSE like a DaviSound "TOOL BOX" anywhere else! If you have never experienced using/owning a DaviSound Tool Box, then you have just not yet lived the ultimate audio experience until you do!
To get your order into our current work rotation schedule, simply follow the order procedure outlined at ...
