In 30 something years, I have yet to hear a "pleasing" audio. Why
designers and manufactures insist on duplicating sounds heard in, God
forbid, a Level 1 trauma ER is beyond me. Audios should enhance your
soaring day and not spoil it with rude and irritating responses.
Having been tortured by the Cambridge audio for over a 1000 hours, I'm
ready for a change and "how does it sound?" is my #1 research
question.

I've heard ClearNav now has a vario, but no information is on their
web site.I have surfed Borgelt, CAI, ILEC, LX, Westerboer, and
Zander. Evidently, vario manufactures know little about marketing
because not one of them offer videos depicting their products
operation and sound. With all the technology we have today, how can
this be? My opinion says this fact just confirms the importance
manufactures put on the sounds made by their instruments.

I'm going to support the guy who provides me with the best product
information without having to chase all over hill and dale. From all
the guys like me who want product details before buying something,
kudos to Paul Remde @ Cumulus Soaring for making the effort to to
provide video "experiences" of different varios. You are on the right
track Paul and please keep them coming!
