1. Judge them by the results for yourself. My favorites were designed in real spaces.
2. That *fad* hasn't changed for many brands. Think Clearaudio Statement.
3. They enjoy spending more time listening than constantly shuffling media, especially in multiple system environments.
4. Not everyone has competent soldering skills. My systems include both DIY interconnects and power cords.
5. Small volume manufacturers are usually driven by individuals or families. Sometimes the death of one individual pretty much means the end of that company or signature product. Merlin. Apogee. Quad. Thiel.
