This is the thing here that is wrong. Since markup in the last 30 years has gone down 90%, GC cant employ the knowledgable persons everyone wants. Most audio companies have been responsible also, for doing this to themselves. Why would anyone expect a doink working at Starbucks to have alot of knowledge about other tech specs like pres mics boards amps guitars, etc?!??! They make the same $$$ per hour!!

Especially since GC was just sold 12 months ago, for whatever millions, there may be a new desire to figure out how to do better, whats already been screwed up for years.......good luck.

I can appreciate a soul in a big company having the honest desire to change things, but I think its too late, for what it is now anyway.

Its kind of like the bullets coming back to the boat and apologizing.
