Made right here in Tucson AZ, http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/local-sound/Content?oid=5924873

Too cool for school , the pre-amp looks especially juicy , hat's off to designer Rodger Cloud for using Mr. Olson and Mr. Sank's technology from the '30's to bring some warmth back into the recording process!!

All I can see is a discussion of election politics,, and although that leaves me breathless and on the edge of my seat Craig, I'd much rather read about some cool, sexy mics....

I think you may have accidentally over clicked and hit the news and opinion section... it's pictured big as life.

These guys have a Youtube channel and some of their manufacturing is done by the Navajo nation.
Makes me want to buy their products just because of that! Very cool ! ! !

I read the article last night - the URL now links to a new issue. Try this after you link to the Tucson Weekly site:

Left click on HOME
Left click on ARCHIVES (below CINEMA)
Left click on "Browse by Issue" (below SEARCH FOR box)
Left click on LOCAL SOUND issue (Vol 32, No 32)
Scroll down to Local Sound article

It is an interesting article.

Thanks Navo... helluva story. I love the fact that the older Navajo's are able to keep the language alive by tutoring the younger generation. The Navajo language is very unique, so unique that in WWII they were able to talk on open radio channels to direct gunfire. The Navajo Code Talkers were so secret it was only recently that they were publicly recognized.

I also love the fact that it is also made in the USA, designed in the USA, and his refusal to outsource offshore. And he sells them in 40 countries so far. Incredible.

My grandfather was in WWII for apparently just that. I never met him though, only stories I heard from the old man. He passed when the old man was a kid.
