Ah, the Cachet, the Pedigree, the "Legendary Sound"..
all the elements that get audiophiles & recording industry magazines excited:

And why did
new company have design engineers when they had paid so much for Neve designs?
Was it just the Brand that sells consoles?
Rupert's new company have him

But of what value would he be w/ no apparent formal engineering education?
And why, then, does this company have need of other design engineers?
