Reporters and industry folk
taking a break in each others’
company. Fom my right shoulder, Mr.
Kazuo Sawada of Sawada Audio,
BMB reps Freddie Tham and Karen
Kho. Jim Schaffer, partner of Jay
Bertrand (seated next with friend),
exclusive distributor of electronics
from such dignitaries as Forsell,
and Zanden Audio. At the other
side of the dinner table, front,
probably full and certainly happy, is Mr.Yamada
of Zanden Audio. His dad, Kazutoshi
Yamada, looks proudly on while
another BMB delegate, Masao
Fukata, looks into camera. Master of
Ceremonies Robert Lee, formally
of Harmonic Technology, now leading his
own Acoustic Zen, is all smiles.
Next to Robert is another Lee, Seng
Tuan Lee, maker a new line of
exciting loudspeakers, Mussé Audio.
Peaking out for a smile is column
tubeaholic Lou "Left
Channel" Lanese. Henry
Wilkenson, another ST contributor,
lends his support next to Todd -- damn!
can’t recall his last name, our Direct
TV-HDTV expert, and completing the
circle, moi. Not shown is writer / audio
maven Jim Saxon and Delve Audio’s
Oliver Solomon.
