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…

You live in a fantasy world Romy. Not one of those items could have evolved into the products you now use without the company responsible being able to develop the technology & materials to allow it to happen. They wouldn't even exist. That sort of development costs money and it has to be earnt somehow. Even your power amplifiers and loudspeakers have evolved from the commercial activities of companies like Lamm, Vitavox, Fane, and probably Avant Gard. Your new tweeters wouldn't have happened unless RAAL had a business that allowed him the resources to develop them. You might regard manufacture and commerce with disdain but if it weren't for them you'd be walking everywhere or perhaps riding in a cart pulled by a horse. Might not be a bad thing!
