More likelihood of that new uber Sirius tt? Time for DD to again predominate?

That makes some sense, but you don’t have to sell your company to hire a business person to relieve a creative designer/builder person of the operations and administrative burdens of the business side of the business.

I was just making the point that having done so for business or other reasons, the obvious side benefit of that decision is it frees up the Chief Designer to do core work (ie: product development & technical work). I think we can agree on that.

Well, maybe they're looking at the $400k price tag for the AF0 and thinking there's a market for a $500k tt. Surely that would secure the existence of a bleeding edge DD beast.

Steve, if massive pricetags do anything, they show the next exponential ticket is possible.

So a $25-30k SAT or Thales Statement shows a new $50k SAT can be comprehended.

A $120k MSB Select 3 box dac shows a likely $150k plus Wadax Reference dac is possible.

And a $400k AF0 shows a $500k Sirius V could be possible. Or not.

This could never happen, as Tim sheridhan is sadly not alive, the price of a system 111 today let alone V would certainly be crazy today and in my opinion one of the greatest audio engineering marvels to exist.
