We'll see more and more of these news. There is money to be made in High End. High End Cable companies will be next. The margin is incredible there...

Agreed...

I am not so sure. Equity firms usually look for firms with a solid market implantation and widely known brands, with potential for medium term expansion, that can take benefit from an injection of fresh money. And I think that the High End cable business is a niche with low growth capability. All IMHO ...

I hope Thiel's brand doesn't go the way of Acoustic Research, Lenco and all the others that were turned to mass market dreck.

Unfortunately, when you are run by accountants with tin ears, that is impossible to avoid. How can you justify a better sounding component when a 20 cent part measures the same?
