This is not the fastest way to heatshrink trannie leads, but this guy obviously takes his job seriously.
I spotted this box of money by the door. "What's that?" I asked, "The tea fund?"
"No," Linda Ling said. "It's the naughty fund. When someone breaks a rule like coming to work late, they have to pay in some small cash. When the box is full, we take everybody out for a celebration."
This is Hou Ying Zhong, of XLH.
His real job is creating theatrical and cinema sound systems, but high-end audio is his passion.
He's standing in front of his $50,000/pair AEF-1812 loudspeakers. That's "18," as in 18" woofer, and "12," as in "1+2=3, which is an auspicious number.
Since high-end audio isn't how Mr. Hou makes his living, he has his real factory elsewhere in the building. This is just his audio playground.
Mr. Hou's loft is stuffed with fun goodies, such as a drum set, keyboard rack—even a disco ball.
He hits a tom-tom and says, "When you hear a speaker reproduce this, you're really getting somewhere."
