Most businesses i know act like thieves given the chance . Unless you have $$$$$$$ to hire the best lawyers etc you will get shafted .
Happened with a rather famous "shoe" company "Jimmy Choo"
What took place there was terrible .
Why, what happened with Jimmy?
(not directed at you Renegadesoundwave) Business is business, I don't know what people want from a business. From Nike, to retail outlets and fast food chains that pays 2p per hour above minimum wage just to beat government statistics, business is there to make profit. If it wasn't there would be no business, because people/companies would go bankrupt.
Now, giving my tax money to failing businesses, to support the lifestyle of the undeserving is a different issue, but in the case of Tru, I've seen and heard of worse situations.
I don't care if Bose make speakers out of paper cones, ice cream cones or recycled toilet paper, if it sounds half decent (which out of the 100+ headphones I've owned, now i'm down to about 30 pairs and Bose are still in my collection) and people are happy (which i am with my Bose OE headphones) with their purchase then who cares
In the case of Tru, what deals were done in the past, what arrangements went sour is of little consequence to me when choosing their products. It's informative, however I've still got my sights on a Tru Line driver
Dan Fraser designed their Steel series. On Saturdays as a moonlight gig while working for Renkus-Heinz. Oh, and cross dressing on the weekends, but nobody cares about that part...
I don't normally do this to people that have treated me fairly in the past. So here ya go: index
And what's that gotta do with the price of apples?
So, Tru like many companies lied about certain things to make money, and that one of the former designers is now a women. I'm not seeing anything to get shocked or upset about.

LOL. Nothing.
Anything can be found on the internet. Anything.

Nothing wrong with him being/wanting to be a woman. More power to him/her, this doesnt change her intelligance regarding design of amplifiers.
I for one dont care, heck if she designed another amplifier I wouldn't mind buying/using it.
Or even asking her questions regarding amplifiers.
To be honest I think that a low-blow for envision to do that, since his very professional, it seemed kinda weird reading it from his post.
Anyways there are other amplifier designers that are bi/homo/trans/.... whatever you wanna call it, BUT THAT does not change the fact of their knowledge and experience in amplifier designs.
And am not trying to get into and arguement over this, it just seemed to me kinda weird.

Yeah, it reads weirdly. I'll change that.

Uh...what did envision do? I missed it. To me, it looked like he linked to this person's web site. This web site, by the way, is centered on demonstrating that she's transgendered. It's not like it's a website devoted to her trip to Italy, or a website talking about amplifier repair, and that the fact that she's transgendered is an irrelevant side note. No, it's a website highlighting that she's pre-op. Obviously, she WANTS people to know this and is proud. And good for her.
It's also fairly unusual to be a pre-op transsexual, which is probably why envision linked to it anecdotally. [If it wasn't unusual, she wouldn't have created a website devoted to it. ]

Well that's what I did. There is a story behind it, but it doesn't belong here.

As to the topic in hand, I understand why people get slighted. As the editor for fakeheadphones.com i see a lot of people being slighted (for want of a better phrase), but i'm still scratching my head over this case.
Tru, as far as i know/read, sell good products. How, when, where, what, why of how the business is run is of no concern for the quality of the products. I have received a personal email away from this forum detailing some dodgy business practices. Unfortunately it seems like car audio is moving into a more hard sales ... tactic. But i'm still waiting for someone to justify why i should stay away from Tru, because a business relationship has gone sour? I look forward to hearing a reply.

If you don't care about their business practices than that is fine. Buy from them as you please. As the owner of fakeheadphones.com, then surely you should be the first to be against buying 'counterfeits' however
Personally I don't want to support a business model such as Tru's so I won't be buying anything new from them.
Do I have a problem with their products? No - because I know the quality of the designer. I just don't like funding companies with such business ethics.
Not bothered "whO " designs a amp. if its good its good
But i do have a issue with companies that cheat .For that reason i would advice anyone thinking of buying EBC brakes etc to do some searching about how this company was run and it still has the same owner . For that reason i will never ever buy their products. they made their money cheating the public

They started off importing cheap nasty brakes and having the suppliers etc spray them any colour .these then got sold as been "specific" . The discs lasted days ! the pads ,,,,you might as well have jumped from the car

Who gives a F*ck, they sell good pads for a good price. I've been using them on my bikes for over 20 years, with no problems.
If folks followed your line of thought, they'd have little to nothing, in the way of consumer goods.
On the EBC bandwagon-I got some of their "green stuff" pads for my Gti6, after using them I realised the "green stuff" was the cash leaving my pocket for lousey brakes. Bedded them in properly but those fuckers would still BURN after some spirited driving, no more EBC for me!
Hmm, never used their car pads. Have used many different motocross pads though, and the EBC's and stock Honda pads were always the best. The EBC's lasted a little longer, having a better backing plate than the stock Honda's, but if you doubled up Honda's insulator, they could last as long as the EBC's.
