The world isn't all about Money, He has such a talent that he could probably walk into any audio design firm on the planet and get a job. That in itself to me, would mean more than any amount of money ever could.

I also find the notion that if a "neve designed" preamp or peice of audio gear doesn't sound like a 1081/1073 its a bad product very amusing. I enjoy my 9098 DMP and Purepath channel strip very much... sure it doesn't sound like a 1073, but then again... its not spose too.
All I said was that he was horrible at marketing himself. Good thing? Bad thing? That is up to him.

Something tells me that he does want to make money or he'd probably just give away his ideas for free. I assume that's what you do.

I never said that his new products are undesirable because they don't sound like 1081's. API, Telefunken, Trident, Daking and Chandler don't either. But they are great in there own right. Amek to me, and many others, is not that desirable of a piece. YMMV
