I suspect that he may have found someone to commercialize some of his lower cost designs. He may have sold the rights, who knows?
The reality is that the market for a $6000 headphone amp is vanishingly small.
I don't know Cavelli or their products. But business succession is a big problem for a lot of small businesses.
He makes it clear that his grandkids are more important than his customers. I'm 100% ok with that - he's on the right track!
That's the risk of dealing with a small manufacturer with no history.
