Default Arthur Khoubesserian / Pink Triangle DAC / Possible interview

[Neil McCauley]

Following my extensive interview with Max Townshend and with John Siau (VP of Benchmark Media Systems Inc) and John Thigpen of Eminent Technology I’m thinking of approaching one of the most interesting and innovative thinkers in our industry – Arthur Khoubesserian for an interview.

http://www.stereonow.co.uk/interviews-Benchmark.html

It’s not a forgone conclusion that he’ll agree. He’s a bit shy (believe it or not), a bit reticent and not in the all too common mould of bad-mouthing people. He’s more ‘broadsheet’ than ‘tabloid’ if you get my drift.

Part of the discussion will focus on the PT DAC & Transport.

If an AoS members have questions that they would like me to put to him then I’ll give them my consideration as indeed he will. I’ll limit it to the best 9 from AoS, plus my own list.

Closing date for question submission is August 1 2011.

I regret having to point out that any questions that are offensive or potentially so (e.g. his sexual orientation) or unreasonably provocative (e.g. his personal opinion about industry luminaries and so on) will be ignored. Arthur is indeed a gentleman and in my view deserves the same degree of respect that he accords other people.

Thank you

Howard

i think your last paragraph should read "if you are going to be a total arsehole then you will be named and shamed". would be most surprised if someone sends you any offensive questions. would hope not anyway.

hopefully he will agree and i look forward to reading all about it.

Funnily enough. something like that was in my mind at the time. But ..... Marco seems a good bloke and he'd not relish the accompanying hassle. Meanwhile re AK's vinyl and speaker interests, questions are now coming in.

As hobbyists should we go for a Funk turntable or seek out and work with a Pink Triangle?

My view as both a retailer and civilian is to start with a PT. Prices are very reasonable right now and my guess is that some Funk retailers will be delighted to accept the PT in p/ex for close to the price you paid.

Used PTs, after initial depreciation, rarely depreciate much further after that.

Thanks! No need to waste Arthur's time then. Have had my tights on a PT Too for a while now.
