Paul, I love your informative videos. So much so that I dipped my toe in the water and bought a refurb Stellar Strada MK2 and love it. It is connected to a set of Golden Ear T66 (($8k system) and the soundstage, depth, separation, airiness and “lingering” is amazing. I also have a hegel h600 & kef r11 metas $28k system) in another room. PS audio and Golden Ear sounds better (my wife reminds me all the time win k wink). My question is….I want FR30’s, I want a CD Transport, I want a PS audio Signature preamp, a PS audio Signature Amp; but what happens if you retire. You look slim and trim and still have a sharp mind, but you probably want to do something other then frequency analysis with the rest of your life. I dont want to be holding $70k of PS Audio equipment when Mr. PS Audio decides to travel the world. Austin Neary NW New Jersey
I always assumed that when the time came, Scott would take the helm. Instead, he’s now charting his own course and building his own company. When Paul eventually chooses to step back, I’m confident there will be a thoughtful succession plan and strong leadership in place to carry the PS Audio legacy forward.
Thanks David
Feel free to delete my post on the forum. I didn’t know how else to reach out.
This again and I plan my PSaudio super system as the PMG power amps hit the site
I believe there are a couple of “Ask Paul” videos that address this issue.
Thank you for those kind words! I am a student of history and from best I can tell, no one has ever made it out of this alive. Therefore, we must conclude that at one point I am likely not to beat the odds and either retire or die. In any case, I am not going to be here forever. 
At least that’s what history suggests though I don’t believe it.
Seriously, I will someday not be here but, consider, I haven’t designed a product for this company for years now. The speakers you want are designed by one of the world’s greatest designers, Chris Brunhaver. And the amps and preamp, Darren Myers. The DAC, Doug Goldberg and Bob Stadtherr.
My role, other than chief wise ass, has been to orchestrate what products we make, listen to them, make suggestions, make sure they live up to our standards. And increasingly, I am taking second chair to Chris Brunhaver who is being groomed as our head product designer and listening afficionado. I want to make sure the legacy, love, and devotion to the company remains.
And let me also suggest that while I get a lot of the credit—it’s really only because you see my mug on the tube. My wife Terri has, for the bast decades, been responsible for the company culture. Our president, Jim, has been responsible for actually making the machine work smoothly and has done so for the past 18 years.
It is truly a team effort and, if I were to keel over tomorrow, you’d hardly notice we skipped a beat.
Seriously.
Live long and prosper, Paul.
That’s the role we love you for, Paul! 
Thanks, Ron!
Picking up where Tony left off, don’t underestimate the importance of that role. Your videos are what brought me to PS Audio, the cool stuff PSA does and the community you remain deeply engaged in are what keep me around. Maybe we have Terry to thank for the culture that extends beyond the four walls but being the public mug isn’t something just anyone can do.
I can count on 2 fingers how many audio companies I really care about and want to see succeed. PSA is one and some may not give a Schiit about the other that is lead by an equally wise ass.
I have long promised my family and friends that I will live to the end of my life. I’m sure you will do the same with your time.
Thanks for all ho have done, do, and will do to keep this fascinating hobby alive. I’ve learned so much from your writings, videos and the fact that I bough my entire PSA set-up with never hearing one play is testament your personalized and wise-assed approach.
Cheers to you and your family, both at home and at PSA.
Blush….thanks. You guys are all my family.
Awwww, thanks. You guys put a smile on my face. All of you.
Paul, thanks for the insight and the introduction to the key members and future leaders of PS Audio!
From all the YouTube videos, I framed you as the Steve Jobs, the Elon Musk, the guy with the innate insight of audio hardware, software, and a sixth sense when it comes to sound and timbre.
I am sure it is true, but having a qualified team behind you, capable to carry on your vision; can also be true.
I am impressed with the small piece of PS Audio I purchased (the Strada Mk2) as a reference, as you explain the engineering incorporated in your product line and the magical soundstage it produces.
I need to build that “great audio system” while my hearing is still functioning. Life’s a funny thing, age affords the means to purchase the dream, but the senses degrade with age.
Cheers and a sincere thankyou to all you do for the fans of high quality audio.
Austin Neary
Thanks, Austin. Yeah, life’s funny like that. By the time you get enough experience behind you to figure out what’s going on you realize you’ve lost or degraded the ability to use those circumstances that were so abundant back when you were clueless.
On the flipside, I’ve certainly become so much more adept at understanding the world around me and not feeling threatened by it.
There’s got to be some great saying somewhere about all this.
I was seduced into the PS Audio audio world by the fact that the top man would answer emails with personable advice and information. The other company that earned my loyalty in that regard was another audio company. It’s I believe now become a more common thing in this expanding world of communication and was rarer three decades ago. This will be an important part of Paul’s legacy.
Then when I learned he had the good sense and fortune to name one of his son’s “Lon” well. . . that sealed the deal.
