Hi folks

After six years with the cool team in Cambridge, tomorrow is my last day with Rio. I am moving on to work in professional audio, where the products have more knobs, the launch parties are more debauched and the salaries are astronomical (well, two out of three ain't bad).

Leaving empeg isn't easy (I'll have to check which counseller rehabilitated Roger) but with my trusty car player by my side it will be a whole new experience to join the ranks of the empeg outsiders. Now I too well be able to moan loudly until those lazy gits release the next v3 alpha.

Rob

Congratulations on the new gig! I hope everything goes well for you. I assume you will still be around the board, even if not in any official DNNA/SonicBlue/Rio/Empeg capactity. All the best, of course.

Does this mean the purple suit and tophat are being retired and put up in the empeg trophy case?

You're a good man, Rob Voisey. Best of luck!

You've been the face of empeg for me for so long it'll be odd not having you there, offering help and rumors.

Best of luck!

Wow! Congrats on the new job, pro audio isn't a bad place to go! I pray that you'll still hang out here - it wouldn't be the same without you!

You can't leave - we didn't persuade you to give us the source code to the player yet!

Good luck in the Pro Audio business. Still with D&M?

Best wishes in your future endeavours, Rob... Though I trust that dealing with the rabid empeg community has prepared you for just about anything you might encounter.

Good luck on your new job. You'll be sorely missed in the community, I hope they've found someone half as competent to replace you.

The yearly bay area meets won't be the same without you.

Good luck out there Rob. We all appreciate everything that you've done over the years. And listen, I still owe you one big time, so don't loose touch. Talk to you again soon!

A sad day. It's hard to think of empeg without you, but good luck- I hope the new job is even more fulfilling than the last!

Thanks for all the good wishes. I'll let you know where I've gone when I start there in a few weeks, but be assured it isn't D&M. I will *of course* still be on the BBS (perhaps with time to actually post now!) and I'll make it to as many meets as I can. I'll have to talk to Roger about starting an empeg old boys association.

Rob

I don't know you, but I've followed empeg from the start (there was once a link on ARM's website to empeg's) I'd always followed the discussion both here and the receiver site and been amazed by the commitment of all the empeg guys (and tfabris) to the product and community. I'm glad to say I did eventually buy an empeg based product (Karma) and have never regretted it. Good luck in your future endeavours and may you carry the empeg attitude with you always.

Rob, I do want to thank you for your help over the past 6 years now. Your dedication to empeg and the information you released here were one of the reasons I decided to trust an unknown UK company with thousands of my dollars. Had you not done what you did, I believe the empeg team would have been even more of an unknown dot on the radar, and not been picked up by Rio.

I'm also glad I have had the chance to meet you in person once, though oddly that came over on this side of the pond instead of at the Euro meet.

Good luck with the new job.

The reason I joined the BBS originally was for the Karma-related info you were willing and able to provide, so I'm really going to miss that. On the other hand, that's what turned me on to the whole community, and for that I can never thank you enough anyway. Good luck in any and all of your new endeavours....

Hope everything goes well in your new job, I hope it's just as fulfilling as empeg. Does this mean we'll start seeing linux powered amplifiers on the market soon?

Congratulations on the new job. I guess if Hugo is the next one to give his 2 weeks notice, we'll be in a lot of trouble. Long live the Empeg Team!

Anyways, I’m hoping the pro car audio company you’re going to work for will take a liking to the empeg, and maybe even produce just the hardware for an empeg mk3 allowing the empeg guys to create the software.
Now that would be a killer twist
