I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, arms, cartridges, CD Player, Tuner, pre-amp and cables all produced by industry participants. I sometimes wonder how you can live with the shame of it.

Yep, I sometime wonder as well how much better all those crap of mine would be is the companies who made that all were not driver by the blind profit maximization and marginal revenue but by the interests of Sonic results…

I think it would also be wise at first to at least make sure one could consistently make a driver that performed to the same level as an S2 before pushing on and trying to refine or improve the design further.

Frankly speaking I do not see it. It does not sound like Mike has interests (I might be wrong) for “abstractedly better MF driver”. He rather as a person who owns Vitavox name and Vitavox products probably jut look forward to cash in his ownership. To do so he does not need to do anything at the “same level” or to “refine or improve the design further”. All that he need to do is to produce ANYTHIG with a Vitavox label on it and deploy a few marketing cretins who would print a few glorious articles celebrating the damn vintage kitsch. As you called them the “far easterners” with their moronic catholic taste will swallow everything… well, I do not think that my cynicism on the subject is anything new to you but it is what it is. Therefore I think that if Mike would not go initially for better Vitavox S2 drivers then he most likely will not go for any “good driver” at all. BTW, I do not consider the originals Vitavox S2 as a “good” driver. It might be more interesting (accidentals!!!) then some another but it is far form being as good as it could be.
