I think you misunderstand. I'm not concerned about bringing the project to life. I don't know the speaker market as well as l should, but I know the head-fi market like the back of my hand. It will sell easily. I have 100% confidence that scoring investment will be a simple matter once the prototype is finished.
I'm here looking for a research and development partner, not an investor. Money isn't going to pay for passion or interest.

I can easily prove it in 2 seconds so it's a moot point.
I think this thread has reached the typical threshold of productive discussion.
Everyone reading this should know what I seek at this point.
Let me know.
Thanks for listening.

Not so huge if evidence is available. Look at the posts by those who try to market something without it, their twisting, squirming, long drawn out arguments... etc. A lot of work. 😓
What is this, The Matrix?

Normal and logical thing to do is to participate in some (very) big hi-fi show.
I know, very expensive, but one-time expense only - bring your prototypes and amaze the world... and hopefully some investors.

All that happens at hi-fi shows is that a few reviewers may ask for review samples.
The sound at shows is seldom very good at all, and the distractions, background noise,
and poor acoustics preclude serious listening anyway.

Well, I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone here. I don't need to, as it proves itself.
My purpose is to search for R&D partner, this goes without saying that the person in question will be able to hear my inventions for themselves.
No need for me to make arguments for or against it since if I'm a crazy person it will reveal itself on its own.
That's the plan actually. There's a huge head-fi event that occurs 4 times per year around the world.
That plus kickstarter.
I need to finalize the production prototype first. Hopefully within the next few months if all goes well.
It is a start...
I had been to Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas - besides noise and non-existing acoustic in huge venues like Las Vegas Convention and World Trade Center (with uber-expensive German MBL exhibiting there!?), there was high-end hi-fi show in hotel rooms in Venetian hotel. Some exhibitors successfully treated hotel rooms with acoustic panels. Yes, distraction and noise is still there, but at least it is a chance for wowing the audience (and investors).
While being in the USA why didn't you try the best exposure possible for a new technology? https://seekingalpha.com/amp/news/3...MInKjDptal9gIVEtd3Ch0FngJfEAAYASAAEgLlO_D_BwE
That phrase has been tried before. To do so, people will have to purchase it first. A lot of them would rather know it beforehand.
Who needs to purchase it? Have you been reading my posts? It's available for demo to anyone that comes to me, or I can come to them once I finish the prototype in a few months.
Based on rough calculations of material, labor, and business costs, the headphones will retail for about 6 grand and the amp will be roughly 3 grand.
Very good point Charles. The weak point of the whole scheme is to get people to buy your stuff. There's so much difference in what people feel 'sounds good' that sounding good is hardly a selling point, as long as it doesn't sound horrible.
To sell successfully you need to spin a very attractive story. The irony is that when you have a story that sells, it's no longer necessary to have a breakthrough technology or design.

I'm still kinda confused about how you can make use of a person that "have zero knowledge and would be willing to learn" but at the same time is "passionate about progressive audio research and development" in a company that is on the verge disrupting the audio market and would like to do it, now - is this combination of a person even possible or in existence?
Even so, to tutor such a person into a productive asset will take you an other 5 year and stall your mission. You need an other plan mate.

So this would be very high end stuff. You should find out how well other very expensive ($6k - $8k) headphones sell.
It will be a small market. Can the amplifier also be used as a preamplifier in a complete audio system with speakers?
Does the amplifier also have a phono preamp inside? At this price, people will expect perfect "fit n finish" workmanship.
Hmm, where have I seen that...
"my high end audio designer friend came over one day and pulled out some XLR cables. He said to try them out and see if I notice if they sound different at all from the cables I normally was using. I didn't expect anything audible so I asked, what if I don't hear any difference? He said, then you need to get your ears checked. Haha, I thought, very funny - NOT.
...
Wow! Everything sounded better, less distorted, and the difference was easy to hear! I was basically stunned, never expected it."
🤣
I for one am willing to give the gentleman the benefit of the doubt. Would be great if someone in the UK could swing over and hear the demo and report back.
New England is the area of the USA that includes Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, etc.
As my dear departed Dad would say, "Buddy, if BS was music you would be a symphony orchestra!"
Reminds me of a friend's description of calls he'd get that requested his boss, Steven Weinberg, to take a look at some of the latest physics developments by independent unaffiliated "researchers". Of course he never bothered Weinberg (Weinberg didn't suffer fools, was a busy man, and couldn't abide small talk and nonsense). But if hificcl can make me look like an idiot, I'd happily eat crow. But "perfect sound reproduction" is non-starter for me.
