[AMPS] Alphas

[perry]

Hello,

At this year's Dayton Convention one of the factor reps told me that
there have been about 1,500 87a sold (since 1984?). If that is the case,
two things are obvious: the market is small and the Alpha people have
been running a charity and not managing an investment. It appears that
the majority of these units run, under what would be abusive conditions
for other amplifiers, for years on end. So, if what is out there it
lasts in the future as well as it has lasted in the past it still has to
be a better "investment" than fast women, cars or drink, then again  . .
