Who are the most underground high-end companies


When I say underground I am talking about companies that fly below the radar. Not much talk about them on audio forums, little if no reviews, no formal advertising, rarely see their gear at shows.

Kyocera. I believe they got there start in the marine industry. Still a player in the semiconductor sector. I remember their TTs, amps, preamps.

octec11: Some well known designer was involved with Perreaux, was it Nelson Pass? Can't remember.
Here's a couple in one sense of this post:

New York Audio Labs

Scott Nixon. He had an aftermarket crossover for the B&W 800 speakers 30 years ago that had the industry buzzing. He also developed a line of digital audio processors called Anodyne, that fell prey to a trade mark infringement because of the name. He developed the very first Peachtree product (electronics). He had a line of products under his own name as well. Very elusive.
