I have a wide electronics background. As far as the audio side is concerned, I designed the world's third portable mp3 player called the MPress3 in 1997. I also designed the THOR range of interconnect, and the THOR Automatic HDMI selector. I also designed the first decent IR headphone, and one of the first RF headphone approved for use in the UK. At the same time I designed the first legally approved consumer video sender for use in the UK. I was also the first to design an automatic SCART switch (1996). I was technical manager at a company called Philex during that time, so I got just my monthly salary.
That's just the audio side of it. I also designed some video and networking stuff.
Way before that, I was one of the first UK trained CD repair engineer in 1983. People like me were needed to be on standby for the release of the first generation of CD players. Later on I ended up as training manager for Lasky's repair department, teaching others how to fix CD players...
