      @brianyee5504 To tell you the truth. Most people think they know what they want but they really don't. They only believe they do. Usually it ends up with something very different. The only thing to do is start talking but need to make sure you talk to the right person. That is another very difficult part of the game.

    I have a question; was this specced entirely by the customer or was this a collaborative effort with you saying “Yes, we can do this and no we cannot do that but I have a suggestion”? Otherwise; I would think this was a project between two electrical engineers…

    • @angela-gilbert
      @angela-gilbert  День тому +2

      The customer knows what he wants. He can buy multiple equipment to do the same thing. Spliters and all that. He has been watching my watch for a year. When he was looking for a new preamp because his old one was not working the way it should. He approach me and asked whether I can do what he wants. He told me what he wants and I said no problem and then added some seasoning to the steak. Or, I prefer to say I have added ketchup, yellow mustard and a bit of redish to the hotdog. That was all. No need to have two engineers to get involve. In fact, no engineer was involved in this project. Since I am not one.
