Doug,
You're right in the sense that particular one is thus... That doesn't mean something special cannot be made. I have plans for a power conditioner that would be about as special as possible. But it's going to cost as much as a Porsche.
Jeremy, rock on. So do I. I love a worthy adversary. That is what drives SOTA! It might only cost what a Subaru cost, though.
My original MajikBUSS power filters were designed for the local market, but that soon changed thanks to Danny Richie. Since I built the originals I have made about 30 changes to get to where the Uber is now. I've learned a lot since then, but the changes are too expensive to implement. I priced the Uber at about a third of what I should have since it commonly replaces Adept Respone, Synergistic, Bybee, Audio Magic, Running Springs, etc, etc. all of them are about $5K because they are pretty. Up until now I have not build audio jewelry, just acceptably utilitarian cases to fit behind the rack. That is soon to change.
I have learned that I have a tendancy to undervalue my talents and my products. Don't do what I did. Charge what it is worth. Build it and they will buy it.
