Hi Terry,

What would you like?
I ask because there are a couple drivers I'd like, and I think I've mentioned them to you. What I'm looking for is pretty well defined. So I'm sort of wondering what your requirements might be, because our requirements might be similar. If that's the case, we may be able to have something made that we both would want to use.

Fostex parts do look nice. But the machining done on JBL parts is pretty tough to beat. Either way, I'd say they're both very fine drivers. I wonder if we got out the micrometer and the flux meter, which would be made to more exacting tolerances. Honestly, I'd place my bet on JBL on this one. But then again, it's probably part specific, and if we started doing the one-upmanship thing, we'd most certainly find that each plant was capable of outdoing themselves with each new project. So I think probably we'd also find that both factories were capable of doing top-notch work. And I'd say both make excellent parts, so a person probably wouldn't be disappointed either way.

Whatcha up to?
