A Neve was mentioned and as it happened one that had nothing at all to do with Rupert and whose SQ, going by people who have actually used it, is well below par. Which itself is kinda odd because Siemens at the time made some exceptionally good consoles under their own name.
Unfortunately as great as Rupert is as a designer he seems to be quite bad at the business side of things. He did found Focusrite in '85 and produced the Forté console in '88 but by '89 he had left Focusrite. The name and remaining assets were bought by someone else.
Either way this is what you said:"But that is the incomparable Neve--the finest ever developed brainchild of Englishman Rupert Neve"
As it stands I can not find a shred of truth in that statement. You would get no grieve from me had you said that about a Neve which was actually designed by Rupert like the custom Neves commissioned by George Martin and used in the various AIR Studios.
