Small batches. Everything is handmade.

In Germany, we call this “Manufaktur”.

In the past, I agree that small batches were prohibitively expensive for PCBs. Nowdays, you can order in very small quantity for very competitive price, and the quality is great!
For a very small business like this, and assuming he sells faster than he can build them - the smart thing to do is outsource some time consuming activities such as the PCB fabrication! Just saying...

In Germany, we call this “Manufaktur”.
Are you sure you did not mean "Zeitverschwendung"? :wink:

Just ordered a pair of DT1990 Pros. Will be my go-to open cans with this amp. They are reputed (on the German sites, at least) to sing with OTLs...
