Is that something that you actually want to do with your time?

This question of your is exactly right and it is what I have been asking myself while I am thinking about it. If the idea works fine on technical and sonic aspects then it is not so hard for me to set a full scale production. I have recourses to convert a [hopefully] properly operating/sounding prototype into a very functional, sensible and technologically property device. It is not a big deal to order the boards, boxes and the rest necessary elements. With proper presentation and under my name I think the product might see some success as it is have very interesting operation and beneficial principle it has huge market and practically there nothing offered in the felid. I do not mind to find in Boston some semi-retired worker (these old Russian school defense super-engineers are well beyond to the crap that exists in today pool of personnel). I have good option for manufacturing facility in my basement where the units might be assembled, tested packed and shipped. The problem is that with all hidden pleasure of this type of operation it is not what I want to do with my life. Lamm does exactly that and I under no circumstance would like to go to this path, not that I think that it is bad but it is not what I want to do with my time. A manufacturing is very enslaving process and very soon a person becomes a servant of the process. This is not the audio that I practicing and I would like do not contaminate my audio practicing with negotiating for the price of the new party of caps or spend hours on the phone with idiots who explain to me that my devise make their Patricia Barber to perform a lap dance on them. So, if the device turns out to be worthy then I need to devise some kind of pattern that would assure me to be me and will not convert me into another industry manufacturing android. For sure if we are talking about 1-2 sales per months (it is what I would look ultimately) then the basement operation scenario look perfectly fine. There is however a chance that the devise might become very in demand and to render 30 sales per months will be a responsibility that would demand full-time attention, even with help. Of cause I might BS myself and it will never happens but I think before to dive into it is the right time to build strategy, not when you get the orders and you brainlessly drift with events. If to outscore the whole thing then the scalability of the operation is not my problem anymore. I will lose my own control over it, it will be no my operation - therefore it will have unpredictable results… So, there are many cons and pros in both ways to go…
