I don't think Frank is an AKG dealer, but I could be wrong. Frank made a huge impression on me a couple of years ago b/c I had just purchased 50 Maxell DDS tapes from him right about the time that the discussion heated up about them eating heads, Oade did some tests to confirm, etc. After hearing about this, I asked Frank if there was any way I could send them back and trade them for Sony DDS. Not only did Frank take them back, he also split the shipping w/ me. We've since met and become good friends, but at the time, I was nothing more than a noname customer, and that one experience was enough to make me buy everything I can from him from now on.
