I promised him that I would not reveal "too much" so that's just a made-up name. I suspect you may already have met him or know of him....... He may never decide to go forward with a series of small format all-valve mixers so he does not want to get people overly excited for no reason.

As for the name 'Valve-a-Rator, Sound-o-Rama" that he mentioned, it clearly seemed to be tenative in nature, if not a partial pun. I suppose such a name could bring to one's mind such things as "surround sound" and proper sound "image."

As for him using your slogan, I DO KNOW that he admires and respects your very fine products, and I think he merely used the "Tubes Rule" slogan to make his point understandable.

I do know that if he ever does decide to produce a series of small format all-valve mixers, they will never be produced in Red China because of his strong commitment to being against slave labor practices and human rights violations.

Doesn't Manley already make a small format all-valve mixer?

That might just do the trick for many people.
I mean, why wait for a "phantom" all-valve mixer when one is already available?
