First order of business is to sell them at a high price; so, if their approach and their spiel seem familiar...

Again, this sort of "balanced", "ultra-low-noise" circuitry has been around in the pro sound market for a while now, but NOT for phono stages (to my knowledge), apart from the 2008.  Boulder has been VERY secretive about their particular implementation, to the extent of potting things; but the generic outline is "out there".  Although it only makes sense that anyone else attempting it would have to listen to it at some point, whether this would help in the end is anybody's guess.  And based on the "introduction", my guess is, it would not help all that much.  So, as is too frequently the case, it's down to crossing fingers, and the real part of the $70k advertised price.
