unding/looping. The
last thing I wanted to believe was that the foil cable just couldn't keep
mid-powered local RF out. I brought in some other brands of foil hook-up
wire and some good ol' braided mic cables and sub'd out a few under-floor
lines - no diff - at all. I ruled out every possible leak and still had the
problem.

After scratching a deep notch in my head trying to sus it, I decided to
ditch all assumtions re cable subs; I brought in some Canare Quad and boom,
problem gone - totally. Not wanting to jump in with both feet on the "aha"
I subbed every leaky RF line with Canare Quad and the sytem went dead
silent.

Whens the next CD due out?Anyone tried Violet's line of mics? The maker claims to be the original Blue
mic designer - apparently a falling out, and they seem to be at war now.

I checked out the site and now get newsletter emails from them. Here's an
excerpt:

"Indeed, yesterday we set up a 10-day eBay auction for Violet Design
Flamingo Junior. Starting bid was $0.01 We got over 30 bids on this item and
had many, many watchers!

Today this eBay item was removed because blue decided that they can use eBay
VeRO program to remove anyone who tries to be competition to their "new
great sounding Chinese" knock-offs. Sorry guys, but we do not compete with
Chinese manufactures. A Rolls-Royce is a Rolls and a Hyundai is just that.
Please, do not devaluate JZ's designs with 10-dollar Chinese capsules.

And by the way, the Flamingo Junior was released early in 2005; quite a

and Martins Saulspurens is trying to claim rights to anything their
ex-employer Juris Zarins has designed or will ever design to be blue

Any truth to this (in that it only implies either great mics, or illegal
copies on one side or the other)? Either way I'm more intere

Here's the cut 'n paste:

Subject: Blue Mic V. Violet - Official Response



We at Blue Microphones would like to make a statement regarding
the ongoing speculation over the original design of Blue?s product
line and Blue?s current business dealings. We have not
commented on these subjects until now simply because our
legal advisors have specifically recommended that we not
participate in the rumor mill. However, we now believe that the
amount of time and misguided speculation that has been
invested on these subjects by forum visitors requires a response.


This statement is intended to set the record straig

ht and will be
the one and only comment offered by Blue Microphones.
Skipper Wise, Martins Saulespurens, and all of the dedicated
and hard-working people at Blue sincerely appreciate those who
have supported us throughout the years and those who will continue
to support Blue Microphones in the future.


First, the design issue:


At the onset of Blue?s incorporation, we hired a Latvian medical
manufacturer called Scruples to manufacture certain metals
parts and perform the final assembly of certain microphones.
Scruples, which is owned in part by Juris Zarins, signed a
non-compete agreement with Blue and used their
manufacturing expertise to construct our product.


As the Blue line caught on, our relationship with Mr. Zarins
became strained as he fought for a bigger piece of the pie.
Mr. Zarins began attempting to leverage our manufacturing
relationship with Scruples to assert claims to our products.
Mr. Zarins attempted to circumvent Blue by creating a company
called ParaBlue that would sell Blue products directly to customers.
In conjunction with these activities, Scruples became less and less
interested in cooperating with Blue?s efforts to manage production
flow and quality control. Since Scruples would not continue to meet
our needs, we found new manufacturers ? right here in America ? who
could.


After Blue terminated all business relations with Scruples in
October of 2004, Scruples violated our non-compete agreement
by supplying microphones to a new company of Mr. Zarins,? Violet
Designs, whose trademark infringes on Blue's trademark. Mr. Zarins
began creating unauthorized duplications of our products under the
name JZ Equipment, which was in clear violation of both our
intellectual property rights and the non-compete agreement.
Mr. Zarins has also made a deceptive attempt to register Blue?s
microphone designs with the European Union.


So, did Scruples make choices in what techniques and technologies
should be used to manufacture Blue?s products? Of course, that?s
what they were hired and paid to do. Did Scruples or Mr. Zarins
somehow establish a vision and actually design the Blue product line?
Absolutely not, which is why we?ve already begun legal action in the
European Union, Latvia, and soon in the U.S.


Some other matters of interest:


As stated above, Blue has moved the manufacturing operations for
most of its core product line to the United States ? specifically
