The Kalista is a statement design and something else when one sees it in person a rocking transport, but sadly wont sound like analog

I'm biased I agree.

This kind of gear gets made, at 'mad' prices. Some 'Fool' must be buying it, that is why it is made. No Manufacturer wants to make gear and keep it, the idea is to sell it & if stuff like this gets made & has the price that it does, some one must be buying it !!!
