It's a very silly thing, but since my first design went to the market, I've always marked it with the words "klaatu barada nikto" somewhere on the PCB.

So it was for all of Audio Analogue's products, up to the Paganini CD player: these words came from "The day the earth stood still", a 1951 fiction movie that I have in my memory from childhood.

You can be sure that if you find these words, the project is mine.
But ...who am I ? Are you curious ?
