I made connection with Sony Lab engineer Tadao Yoshida after i had some problem using Sony's new PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) power amplifier for my PA system. At that time, only Sony and Infinity (USA) was making this type of power amplifier. This product was first product which was using Digital technology for Sony. Of course, nowadays many companies are using this technology.

 I was the first user at that time in Japan of custom IC and OP AMP to use with audio system and for mixing console. Now standard practices, of course, with industry using custom IC & OP AMP for audio system.

 After this incident we discussed about future audio system such as non compression 16 bit 44 KHz sampling CD player, and custom IC, which we were very interested in.

 Few years later, Sony made worlds first CD player and started to make custom IC. This custom IC technologies is currently successful, such as CPU Sony Emotion Engine for PS2 game machine.
